Holds leadership roles within the ENT / Facial Plastic divisions at TUMS. He is listed specifically under “Facial Plastic” in the department of ENT at TUMS.
Areas of Expertise
Aesthetic & reconstructive rhinoplasty (nose surgery) combining functional and cosmetic approaches.
Septum and nasal airway correction, given his ENT foundation.
Facial plastic surgery including chin augmentation, cheek and chin prostheses, eyelid surgery, face & neck rejuvenation.
Complex revision cases in facial aesthetics and structural surgery (given his research on multiple-prior surgery rhinoplasty).
Surgical Philosophy & Patient Approach
Dr. Sazgar emphasizes that aesthetic facial surgery must harmonize with facial structure, native proportions and function — not merely cosmetic change. His ENT background ensures that functional considerations (e.g., breathing, airway) are integrated into aesthetic plans. He treats each patient individually, designing custom plans that reflect their anatomy, goals and lifestyle.
