Dr. Sepehr Egrari - Plastic Surgeon in Bellevue, WA

Dr. Egrari’s journey began with a distinguished undergraduate career at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology with honors, graduating summa cum laude. His academic curiosity was complemented by a series of research internships that explored tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, laying a scientific foundation that would later inform his surgical innovations. This early immersion in the cellular mechanisms of healing sparked an enduring fascination with the transformative potential of plastic surgery.

Following his undergraduate achievements, Dr. Egrari pursued his Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of Washington School of Medicine, an institution renowned for its rigorous curriculum and emphasis on patient‑oriented research. During medical school, he excelled in the surgical clerkships, receiving the Dean’s Award for Clinical Excellence and contributing to peer‑reviewed publications on wound healing dynamics. His commitment to academic medicine was further demonstrated by his role as a teaching assistant for anatomy labs, where he mentored first‑year medical students in dissecting complex facial structures, fostering an early appreciation for the delicate balance of form and function.

The next phase of his training comprised a highly competitive integrated residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital. Over six years of intensive clinical exposure, Dr. Egrari refined his operative techniques across a spectrum of procedures—from microsurgical free‑flap reconstructions to aesthetic facial lifts. He was selected for the Advanced Fellowship in Aesthetic Surgery, where he honed his skills under the mentorship of world‑renowned aesthetic surgeons, mastering the nuances of rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, and body contouring. Throughout his residency, he was the recipient of the Resident Research Award for his pioneering work on adipose‑derived stem cell applications in scar remodeling.

Surgical Expertise

Facial rejuvenation represents the cornerstone of Dr. Egrari’s aesthetic repertoire, where he blends surgical precision with an artist’s eye for proportion. His mastery of facelift techniques—ranging from traditional rhytidectomy to the minimally invasive SMAS plication—allows him to restore youthful contours while preserving the patient’s innate facial expressions. Complementing these procedures, he incorporates adjunctive technologies such as high‑intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and fractional laser resurfacing to address skin laxity, pigmentation, and textural irregularities, delivering comprehensive, long‑lasting results that transcend the operating room.

In the realm of breast surgery, Dr. Egrari offers a full spectrum of options tailored to the patient’s anatomical goals. Whether performing augmentation with anatomically shaped silicone implants, reduction mammoplasty to alleviate musculoskeletal discomfort, or mastopexy to correct ptosis, his meticulous pre‑operative planning ensures symmetry, optimal implant positioning, and minimal scarring. He is also adept at oncoplastic reconstruction, integrating oncologic resection with aesthetic restoration to preserve breast volume and shape, thereby supporting patients through both cancer treatment and post‑operative recovery.

Body contouring is another pillar of Dr. Egrari’s practice, encompassing both standard and complex procedures. He performs abdominoplasty, thigh lifts, and gluteal augmentations with refined techniques that prioritize vascular integrity and wound healing. For patients who have undergone significant weight loss, Dr. Egrari offers comprehensive complex body contouring—addressing excess skin, fat redistribution, and contour irregularities across multiple anatomical regions in staged or combined approaches. This expertise is underpinned by a deep understanding of the physiological changes that follow massive weight loss, allowing him to craft individualized surgical roadmaps that restore functional mobility and aesthetic confidence.

Beyond these specific domains, Dr. Egrari’s broader aesthetic plastic surgery practice embraces a holistic approach to facial and body harmony. He frequently combines procedures—such as a facelift with liposuction or a breast lift with a tummy tuck—to minimize cumulative anesthesia exposure and optimize overall aesthetic balance. His commitment to continuous education ensures that he remains at the forefront of emerging trends, including the integration of autologous fat grafting for facial volume restoration and the use of bio‑engineered scaffolds for soft‑tissue augmentation, thereby expanding the creative possibilities available to his patients.

Commitment to Patient Safety

Patient safety is the immutable axis upon which Dr. Egrari’s practice revolves, a principle reinforced by his active involvement in premier professional societies. As a distinguished member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), he contributes to the organization’s Patient Safety Initiative, participating in peer‑reviewed case studies that evaluate peri‑operative protocols and postoperative outcomes. His dedication to continuous improvement earned him a place in the ASPS President’s Circle, recognizing his leadership in advancing safety standards across the specialty.

Dr. Egrari’s affiliation with the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research (ASER) program underscores his commitment to evidence‑based practice. Through ASER, he engages in rigorous clinical trials that assess the efficacy of novel technologies, such as regenerative stem‑cell enriched fat grafts, ensuring that any innovation adopted in his clinic is backed by robust scientific validation. His membership in the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) further amplifies his focus on patient education, as he routinely presents at ASAPS symposiums on risk mitigation strategies and informed consent best practices.

Recognition of Dr. Egrari’s safety-oriented excellence is reflected in multiple prestigious awards. In 2022, he received the American College of Surgeons (ACS) President’s Circle Award for Excellence in Aesthetic Surgery, a testament to his unwavering adherence to surgical safety protocols, meticulous operative technique, and outstanding patient outcomes. The following year, he was honored as the Top Plastic Surgeon in Washington State (2021) by a peer‑review panel that evaluated clinical outcomes, complication rates, and patient satisfaction scores. In 2020, the ASPS bestowed upon him the Best in Body Contouring Award, acknowledging his mastery of complex contouring procedures and his low complication profile, which consistently falls well below national averages.

Beyond accolades, Dr. Egrari embeds safety into every facet of his practice. He maintains a state‑of‑the‑art surgical suite equipped with real‑time intra‑operative monitoring, employs standardized surgical checklists, and mandates pre‑operative optimization protocols that address comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. Post‑operative care is equally rigorous, featuring a multidisciplinary team of nurses, physical therapists, and nutritionists who monitor recovery, manage pain, and detect early signs of infection or thromboembolic events. This comprehensive safety net ensures that each patient’s journey—from consultation to final follow‑up—is guided by the highest standards of clinical care.
