Dr. Arshia Payman, MD
Dr. Payman leads facial aesthetics at ANEWU. She works directly with Dr. Abtin Shahriari, so your surgical plan and your aesthetic goals are considered together rather than treated as two separate visits.
Who performs facial aesthetics at ANEWU?
Facial aesthetics at ANEWU is led by Dr. Arshia Payman, MD, a board-certified physician specializing in aesthetic medicine. She works directly with Dr. Abtin Shahriari, an oral surgeon specializing in implant dentistry, so a surgical plan and an aesthetic plan are considered together rather than separately. ANEWU has three Georgia offices: Buckhead, Cumming and Dawsonville.
If you have ever wondered whether the person holding the syringe is actually a physician, that is the part worth checking before you book anywhere. At ANEWU the answer is yes, and the same practice handles oral surgery too, which is why many patients see both doctors. Here is the full ANEWU team.
Trained at George Washington University and across four Washington D.C. hospitals.
Where a physician trained is easy to check and easy to skip. Here is hers.
Is Dr. Payman a medical doctor?
Yes. Dr. Arshia Payman holds an MD and is a board-certified physician specializing in aesthetic medicine. She completed her undergraduate and medical school training at George Washington University, then trained across four Washington D.C. hospitals, including the National Institutes of Health. She now leads facial aesthetics at ANEWU.
What facial aesthetic treatments does Dr. Payman perform?
Dr. Payman performs six facial aesthetic treatments at ANEWU: Botox, dermal fillers, lip treatments, laser resurfacing, buccal fat removal and TMJ or TMD treatment. Which ones suit you depends on your goals and your skin, so she reviews both at a free consultation before recommending anything.
Botox®
Smooths expression lines and eases TMJ jaw tension.
Dermal Fillers
Restores facial volume without surgery.
Lip Treatments
Restores lost volume and definition for a natural look.
Laser Resurfacing
Improves tone, texture and fine lines.
Buccal Fat Removal
A single in-office procedure that contours a full lower face.
TMJ and TMD Treatment
From Botox for jaw tension to a full evaluation.
Two doctors, one plan for your face and your smile.
Many ANEWU patients see both doctors: Dr. Abtin for implants or facial surgery, and Dr. Payman for the aesthetic side, from Botox to laser resurfacing. Because they work from the same treatment plan, your care stays coordinated instead of split across unrelated visits.
That matters most when the two overlap. Full arch dental implant surgery changes how the lower face sits, and the questions that follow are easier to answer when both doctors are in the same building.
- One shared treatment plan between your oral surgeon and your aesthetics physician
- Aesthetic treatment discussed alongside surgical timing, not separately from it
- One practice and one phone number for both sides of your care
- A free first consultation, whichever doctor you start with

What happens at a facial aesthetics consultation with Dr. Payman?
The first consultation at ANEWU is a conversation. Dr. Payman listens to what is bothering you, looks at your face and skin, explains which treatments could address it and what each one involves, then answers your questions. The consultation is free, and there is no pressure to book on the day.
If you have ever wondered what you are supposed to bring or say at a first aesthetics appointment, the honest answer is nothing more than the thing you keep noticing in photographs. The rest is the doctor's job. The practice publishes what to expect at your first visit if you would rather read it through first.
- You say what is bothering you
In your own words, not clinical ones. Most consultations are spent listening before any plan is recommended.
- Dr. Payman assesses your face and skin
She looks at what is actually driving the thing you described.
- You get the options, and what each involves
Which treatments could help, what each asks of you, and what it does not do. Then you decide.
How much does a consultation with Dr. Payman cost?
Nothing. The first consultation at ANEWU is free, whether you are asking about facial aesthetics, oral surgery or both. Treatment cost depends on which treatment you choose and how much of it you need, so Dr. Payman goes over that with you once there is an actual plan.
ANEWU works with CareCredit and Proceed Finance and accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover, and the payment and financing options are set out in full before anything is scheduled.

Common questions about facial aesthetics at ANEWU.
TMJ and TMD treatment is listed among the facial aesthetics services at ANEWU, and Botox for jaw tension is part of what Dr. Payman offers. A full TMJ evaluation is done with Dr. Abtin Shahriari, so jaw pain is usually looked at by both doctors rather than one.
Yes. Dr. Payman and Dr. Abtin Shahriari practice together at ANEWU and work from the same treatment plan, so your surgical care and your aesthetic goals stay coordinated instead of being split across unrelated visits. Raise both at your first consultation and they will be discussed together.
