Sarah Kidwai, MD

Behind our success is a supportive father. On women's day, I'm remembering the man who raised two daughters like us, an allergist & a surgeon, from a lineage of women that did not work or have a career. From a young age, the emphasis on education, higher education, success was always present. Now as I raise two daughters of my own, I only hope to instill an ounce of the grit and hard work he instilled in us. The last few months I've been thinking about what led us to who we are today, and in every answer it is the work ethic we witnessed in you. Thank you in this life and the next. 🕊️❤️

Women's day - remembering the man who raised two daughters like us, an allergist & a surgeon, from a lineage of conservative women that did not work. I only hope to instill in my own daughters an ounce of the work ethic & grit he instilled in us. I've been asking myself daily these last few months how we came to who we are, and every answer has been witnessing the relentless hard work of our father and his dedication to the success of his children and their careers. Thank you in this life & the next. 🕊️❤️

Reflecting back on a great meeting in LA

One year after facial feminization surgery (frontal sinus setback, hairline lowering, brow bone reduction, brow lift, rhinoplasty, genioplasty, and mandible contouring).

What a journey!

Three months after facial feminization surgery and continuing to look more beautiful than ever!
and I performed a frontal sinus setback, hairline lowering, browlift, orbital contouring, rhinoplasty, genioplasty (narrowing of chin, and mandible contouring. Her swelling (especially in the lower face and nose) will continue to improve over the next year.

Same hoops, new neck 🥰🥰

Reconstruction of the head and neck is one of the many reasons I love facial plastic surgery so I am excited to be a part of this!

One week after rhinoplasty! This patient wanted a reduction in the width of the nose, a dorsal bump reduction, and a decrease in nasal projection (how much the nose sticks out from the face). She is going to continue to heal great as her bridge and tip swelling comes down!

Dr. Kidwai is a Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon. What does that mean? She completed Otolaryngology residency, which is a 5 years of surgical training. This includes all types of procedures for the head and neck ranging from large head and neck reconstruction to rhinoplasty to eyelid surgery. She then completed a year of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery fellowship. Performing surgeries of only the head and neck helps to focus on this area's anatomy for the best outcomes. ☺️

Hinderer's lines help guide us when performing cheek augmentation with filler. As an injector and surgeon, a 3D understanding of the youthful mid face is key and integral for natural looking results.

Happy International Women's Day! It's not easy being a female surgeon, let alone a South Asian one! Grateful for all of my amazing male and female mentors that have helped me in my training and career. Thank you and excited to see what the future holds 👩🏻‍⚕️
