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

Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. How Letting Go Helped This Plastic Surgeon Grow Specifically, “How Letting Go Helped This Plastic Surgeon Grow” explores what happens when a busy surgeon finally stops being the bottleneck. Furthermore, running an aesthetic clinic can feel overwhelming. Additionally, consults, surgeries, staff issues, finances, and marketing all compete for attention. Moreover, in this week’s “Beauty and the Biz” episode, Dr. Kailash Narasimhan explains how he made a major shift. Interestingly, he is double board-certified in plastic surgery and ENT. Furthermore, he has been in private practice in St. Petersburg, Florida, for eight years. Also, he shares how he moved from stressed solo operator to confident CEO. Finally, he explains how simple systems now keep his practice running without his constant involvement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Specifically, in “How Letting Go Helped This Plastic Surgeon Grow,” you’ll learn:   First, why surgeons struggle to delegate — and how Dr. Narasimhan broke the habit   Next, how he built a high-performing team and learned to trust them   Then, how shifting from “surgeon” to “business owner” changed everything   Finally, how he doubled efficiency without increasing stress   Ultimately, the key insight is simple: the most valuable procedure you can perform is on your own practice. &nbsp; Indeed, most surgeons don’t need more leads. Instead, they need a more effective strategy. Therefore, if you want to uncover the systems and mindset shifts that create sustainable growth, let’s talk. 👉                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Enjoy!

Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. From Fellowship to Two OR Suites Specifically, in the “From Fellowship to Two OR Suites Podcast,” Dr. Heather Levites explains how she built one of Raleigh’s newest aesthetic practices from the ground up. First, she shares how she is a board-certified plastic surgeon trained at MIT, Duke, and Stony Brook. Additionally, she gained real-world business experience by working inside a multi-physician practice. Consequently, she learned workflow, systems, and the financial realities new surgeons rarely get taught.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Specifically in this episode of the “From Fellowship to Two OR Suites Podcast,” you’ll hear how she:  First, purchased a 3,000-sq.-ft. medical condo. Then, she spent a full year navigating permits, build-outs, inspections, and OR accreditation. Next, designed two private OR suites to control block time and reduce overhead. Afterward, bridged the financial gap by taking part-time work while she built her brand. Finally, hired and trained her first team.  During that time, she handled HR, marketing, nursing, coordination, and operations herself. Furthermore, Dr. Levites shares the “one mistake” that cost her nearly a year and thousands of dollars. Ultimately, she explains what happened so you can avoid making the same mistake. &nbsp; PS: Indeed, the Cosmetic Practice Vault works because it’s based on real data from real practices. Specifically, surgeons have used this system to:  First, increase revenues 27% in six months Second, convert 80% of consults Third, fix staff performance issues Fourth, increase call-to-appointment rate by 30% Fifth, increase patient lifetime value by 20% Sixth, build a predictable growth flywheel     &nbsp;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Enjoy!
