He was then accepted to the plastic surgery program at Indiana University Medical Center, a rigorous top-tier program. There, he honed his skills in all facets of plastic surgery, including cleft-lip/palate repair, head and neck reconstruction, and breast reconstruction.

    Dr. Dadvand also utilized his time at Indiana University to pursue academic interests, including publications in peer review journals. Dr. Dadvand drew from years of training and experience during his advanced aesthetic fellowship in Beverly Hills and knew that all the additional years of training he pursued were necessary to gain true expertise in the field of aesthetic plastic surgery.
