Cosmetic surgery is a unique discipline of medicine focused on enhancing appearance through surgical and medical techniques. It can be performed on all areas of the head, neck, and body. Because treated areas function properly but lack aesthetic appeal, cosmetic surgery is elective. Cosmetic surgeons (also known as plastic surgeons and esthetic surgeons) are medical doctors who specialize in surgeries to correct disfigurement and/or improve physical appearance.

Among his most notable achievements, Dr. Ataii has been honored by receiving the Patients’ Choice Award (2007 through 2019), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018), On-Time Doctor Award (2009, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018), Patients’ Choice 5th Anniversary Award (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018), Compassionate Doctor Award – 5 Year Honoree (2013, 2014, 2015), Top 10 Doctor – Metro Area (2014), and Top 10 Doctor – City (2014). He has also been honored as one of the TOP 10 in his specialty in California for 10 years in a row, and has won the “Best Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Enhancement” by the national Aesthetic Guide Journal in 2011.
