After graduating with honors from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, Dr. Parsa completed his ophthalmology residency at USC’s Doheny Eye Institute.

He has taught at congresses throughout Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, India, and the United States. He developed the Trifecta Lift™, Quadfecta Lift®, NanoStem®, and the Duplex® Procedure. His published research includes work on post-hyaluronic acid recurrent eyelid edema, or PHAREE, a condition affecting some patients who have had hyaluronic acid filler placed around the eyes. He is also the founder and program director of Core Aesthetics, which trains physicians in advanced aesthetic and oculoplastic techniques.
His interest in how the body heals led him to write HEAL: Your Recovery Blueprint, a guide to the role of nutrition in recovery from surgery and injury that draws on nutritional principles used in burn units and intensive care. He wrote the book following his own recovery from open-heart surgery. This work also led him to found Mendora, where he developed The Skin Repair Formula, a daily nutritional supplement formulated to support skin health and recovery, including alongside aesthetic procedures.
In addition to his surgical practice and teaching at USC, Dr. Parsa is involved in humanitarian work. He is the founder of the Surgical Friends Foundation, a nonprofit organization committed to providing reconstructive surgery to patients without access to quality medical care. Through the organization, Dr. Parsa has traveled internationally to perform reconstructive procedures for patients in need.
