In the world of social media, where beauty transformations go viral in an instant, one plastic surgeon’s work has taken the internet by storm.
Dr. Farzan Malekzadeh, based in Turkey, claims to have perfected a groundbreaking non-surgical technique called the “Picasso technique,” which he says can dramatically reshape a person’s face.
His before-and-after images have captivated audiences worldwide, with many praising his ability to seemingly turn everyday individuals into supermodels.
Too Good to Be True? Social Media Users Raise Eyebrows
While Dr. Malekzadeh’s results have wowed many, others aren’t so convinced.
Social media platform X flagged his viral images, stating that they had been edited and used to mislead potential clients.
The disclaimer accused the surgeon of paying influencers to promote manipulated photos, suggesting that the transformations might not be entirely real.
Skeptical users have voiced their doubts, with some arguing that the images look artificial or AI-generated. Others have pointed out that the people in the before-and-after shots don’t even look like the same individuals, fueling speculation that Photoshop may be playing a bigger role than the actual procedures.
What Is the “Picasso Technique”?
Dr. Malekzadeh has built a significant following online, boasting over 461,000 Instagram followers.
He describes his “Picasso technique” as a revolutionary approach using advanced technology to lift facial features, reduce cellulite, diminish scars, and even reshape the buttocks.
He claims his method can make a 50-year-old look 25 and offers customized aesthetic enhancements for younger clients as well.
While his followers are quick to call his work “the best in the world,” critics argue that he has not provided enough details about how the procedure works.
Some medical professionals have expressed concern that the images seem too exaggerated to be genuine, adding to the growing suspicion surrounding his practice.
A Dubious Past? Claims of Photoshop and Fake Reviews
A heated discussion on Reddit has added fuel to the controversy, with some users warning against trusting Dr. Malekzadeh’s work.
One user, who claims to be a doctor, pointed out that his clinic’s social media presence is filled with staged images rather than real patient results.
Another Redditor shared a message alleging that the doctor pays influencers to leave positive comments on his posts, creating a false sense of credibility.
Adding to the skepticism, some have also noted that Dr. Malekzadeh previously pursued careers in music, acting, and production before transitioning to cosmetic procedures.
Critics argue that his past endeavors suggest a focus on performance and image rather than genuine medical expertise.
The Risks of Cosmetic Surgery Abroad
Dr. Malekzadeh’s case highlights broader concerns about the growing trend of traveling abroad for cosmetic procedures.
Many UK surgeons and the NHS have long cautioned against seeking cheaper alternatives in countries like Turkey, where regulations and safety standards may not be as strict as in Britain.
While some Turkish clinics are reputable, others lack essential safeguards, such as requiring surgeons to have insurance or offering patients a cooling-off period before surgery.
In contrast, UK-based cosmetic surgeons provide at least two weeks for patients to reconsider their decision before undergoing a procedure.
The dangers of seeking surgery overseas have been well-documented.
Since 2018, at least 324 Britons have required medical treatment—including corrective procedures—after experiencing complications from surgeries performed abroad.
Turkey remains one of the top destinations for these risky procedures, with clinics aggressively marketing their services through social media ads.
What’s Next for Dr. Malekzadeh?
With growing allegations of deception and a closer examination of his claims, Dr. Malekzadeh’s reputation is under scrutiny.
While he continues to promote his so-called “Picasso technique” as a game-changer in cosmetic enhancements, the backlash suggests that not everyone is convinced.
MailOnline has reached out to Dr. Malekzadeh for a response, but as the debate rages on, one thing is clear: in the world of online beauty transformations, not everything is as it seems.
