From “Not Wanted” to World-Renowned

Indeed, “From ‘Not Wanted’ to World-Renowned: Dr. Ghavami” tells the story of how one surgeon rose from rejection to success.

Specifically, when Dr. Ashkan Ghavami arrived in Beverly Hills, no one wanted him there. Afterward, he built a trusted name in aesthetics and gained worldwide recognition.

Now, he’s known for his celebrity patients, advanced techniques, and leadership in the field.

Specifically in this episode of “Beauty and the Biz,” Dr. Ghavami shares how he built his reputation and business:

  • First, how he grew his practice before social media existed
  • Then, why “doing great work” isn’t enough to stay visible
  • Later, what it really takes to run a top-tier practice in Beverly Hills
  • Finally, how to stay ethical and competitive in an AI-driven world

In short, this discussion reveals what it takes to build and maintain a premium brand in today’s marketplace.

Ultimately, being a great surgeon is one thing. However, building a great business is another.

 

Shockingly, one strategic hour can save months of trial and error.

Therefore, book a Strategy Review Zoom call to identify missed opportunities.

Then, map the fastest route to more bookings, higher revenue, and smoother operations.

Enjoy!

"The fastest way to success is to model other successful surgeons who have what you want, but you can only see their results, not the path they took to get there.

So, you continue to jump from one thing to another, hoping to find something that will work for you too, but it rarely does. So, try this shortcut instead. It’s guaranteed to move you forward. I compiled my intellectual property to grow cosmetic revenues, everything I’ve gleaned over the years into one playbook of the most successful practices and what they do to win.
