Dr. Sabbagh’s Approach to Cosmetic Surgery
“I don’t want my patients to have an ‘operated on’ look; I want them to look great for their age and to feel confident and positive about their appearance. In many cases, my goal is to ‘put it back the way it was,’ not to make the person into something they aren’t. I never tire of analyzing a patient’s face or body and determining which technique will produce the best result for that unique individual.”
A Conversation with Dr. Sabbagh
How did you choose a career in plastic surgery?
“I knew back in high school that I wanted to be a doctor when I developed a keen interest in anatomy and science. I worked in a hospital during summers after high school and decided to attend medical school. My father, Enrique Sabbagh, MD, was influential; he has been with Straith for over 40 years, practicing as a plastic surgeon and teaching other doctors who wanted to learn the techniques he had mastered. As a result, I was exposed to the wonderful legacy of the Straith Clinic, where I practice medicine today.
I didn’t know that plastic surgery would become my specialty until I was exposed to different types of medicine during medical school. I realized that plastic surgery was the most diverse specialty, encompassing cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, microsurgery, hand surgery, and breast reconstruction, and that it would be an exciting area to practice. I was fortunate to come into practice with other successful and busy plastic surgeons, which allowed me to take on a broad range of surgical cases from the beginning.”
How has your practice evolved over the years?
“Gradually, the focus of my practice shifted toward cosmetic surgery, and that continues to be my passion and area of expertise. Straith Clinic’s legacy of over 90 years in cosmetic surgery gives me a strong foundation to draw from, and I am proud to carry that tradition forward for patients throughout the Detroit area.”
