ZAINAB JISHI, MS, PA-C

Zainab is native to the metro-Detroit area and has lived here all her life. She is a mother of 3, wife and PA, in that order. She has a very family-oriented lifestyle which is often experienced by her patients as she does treat everyone she encounters as family. She very frequently tells her patients, “if it is not something I would do to myself or family, I will not offer it to you or anyone else.” She is very critical with just about everything she is involved in which makes her very analytical about details prior to forming plans or opinions. She is a straight shooter, unable to “sugar coat” so you can rest assured you will always get an honest opinion from her. She feels impeccable communication is an absolute must when involving patient care, especially when involving elective aesthetic goals. She recognizes that patients have a choice about where to go to seek their services and she is humbled by every single individual who entrusts their goals to her. Zainab is a natural educator and precepts PA students from Michigan PA programs for their elective clinical rotations. Additionally Zainab was selected to join the esteemed faculty of Allergan Medical Institute, the division of Allergan Aesthetics that is responsible for training other medical professionals on how to safely perform Botox injections as well as the Juvederm portfolio of dermal fillers.

At an early age, Zainab began her undergraduate academic career at the University of Michigan – Dearborn while still enrolled as a high-school student. Upon formal initiation of her undergraduate career she was accepted to the University of Michigan – Dearborn with a University issued full-tuition scholarship. In 2005 she graduated with a B.S. in Biological Sciences, minoring in Psychology as well as a B.A. in Hispanic Studies in Spanish with a minor in Philosophy. Throughout her life she never really envisioned herself in a career outside of medicine. Although she tends to find something she enjoys in just about everything; the interaction between health, pathophysiology and human nature is where her true love lies. She loves interacting with people from all walks of life, as she believes that each personal interaction is a lesson of some sort and that it adds a jewel to your own character. Shortly after graduating, she got married in 2005, not realizing that she would eventually become an integral part of her husbands profession.

After getting married, she helped her husband establish his private practice in Plastic Surgery. A challenging role however very fruitful. Very quickly she realized that her attention to detail, appreciation of balance and honest nature were a perfect compliment to the industry. After having established a robust practice and moving into a larger space she redirected her focus back on her own academics. She attended the University of Detroit Mercy where she obtained her M.S. in Physician Assistant Studies, Summa Cum Laude. Her intention while attending PA school was to always return to the Plastic Surgery setting to focus on Facial Aesthetics. Along the way however she developed another love, Emergency Medicine. The ambitious person that she is needed to have both. So upon completion of her studies she decided to work part time in the Emergency Department as well. She describes that setting as unlike anywhere else. She says “we are all focused on the same thing regardless ofpersonal relationships, needs or wants. At that moment we all respect that only one thing matters and we all work together to accomplish it.” She feels the ED has further solidified her confidence in treating patients and enables her to put all emotions aside while in the face of conflict. She recognizes and appreciates what matters most. She feels the ED keeps her grounded, keeps her broader sense of medicine strong and continues to add jewels to who she is. After establishing A Fine Line Aesthetics she has had to limit her time spent in the ER however she has no intention of ever letting it go completely.

In the Plastic Surgery setting, Zainab focuses on Facial Aesthetics and Non-Surgical options for Body Contouring, Female health and Skin Rejuvenation. She is in constant competition with herself which keeps her at the forefront of her industry constantly seeking additional learning experiences both near and afar. She prides herself on natural outcomes and although she respects every patients desires, she does not shy away from refusing to provide service if she does not feel expectations are either realistic or safe. In addition to the very extensive training obtained by her husband, a Double Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, Zainab has been trained by global leaders in the injectable world. She has completed multiple Masters Injector trainings and remains active with ongoing changes in the injectable world. Her diverse training experiences lends her a unique perspective and comprehensive approach when planning treatments for each individual patient.
