About Dr. Amit Patel
A Message from Dr. Patel
In my practice, I strive to tailor each facial rejuvenation to the individual patient’s needs—what works for one person may not be the ideal solution for the next. I always advise patients to consider a surgeon who offers minimally invasive as well as surgical techniques.
Due to rapid technological advancement, the field of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery has evolved dramatically and few areas of medicine have witnessed such profound change in so short a period of time. Treatments are more effective than they were even five years ago, and with more natural results.

What is a Facial Plastic Surgeon?
A facial plastic surgeon specializes in performing cosmetic and reconstructive surgery on the face, head and neck area. They are commonly board certified in otolaryngology head and neck surgery as well as facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Most elective facial plastic procedures in the United States are performed by facial plastic surgeons. Their concentration on the study of the complex anatomy of the head and neck region provides facial plastic surgeons with a strong background to treat patients desiring cosmetic reconstructive surgery of the face.
Patient Testimonials
“I found Dr. Patel to be an excellent, multi-skilled, multi-talented surgeon. The patient-doctor rapport I had with him was very good and I believe he had genuine concern for my health and well-being.”
– General patient
“My husband now has his stitches removed, has healed remarkably and his nose is restored to the point that one is unable to determine where the cancer was.”
– Facial reconstructive surgery patient
“I had been thinking about having some minor facial work done for awhile, but was scared of the outcome. Dr. Patel assured me that he could do just what I wanted. The outcome was great-just what I wanted it to look like. He will tell you just what you need and also explain why you may not need anything done. He is very professional.”
– Skin analysis patient testimonial
Dr. Patel is a very nice and caring doctor. He makes you feel comfortable and cared for. I went to him after a car accident after not being able to breathe right. He fixed my nose just like I asked him to. My breathing is 100% better. He was very caring about my welfare and I thank him very much. I will tell anyone to go to him.

Rhinoplasty Specialist
Dr. Patel has broad experience with the field of nasal contouring. Whether it be a rhinoplasty for purely aesthetic concerns you desire, or a functional rhinoplasty for breathing concerns, it is an area of great clinical interest to Dr. Patel as a facial plastic surgeon.
The nose is the most defining characteristic of the face. Even a subtle change can dramatically improve the appearance of the whole face. Reshaping or resizing the nose can be accomplished by the movement of underlying structures such as bone and cartilage.
In collaboration with this procedure, many patients will opt for mentoplasty, or chin augmentation. The chin can balance the profile of the face with just a slight change. And since chin augmentation is a relatively straightforward procedure, it can easily be done at the same time as the rhinoplasty. Even though few people dwell on the appearance of their chin, most would agree that a weak chin is not a desirable characteristic.
