Umang Mehta, MD, FACS

^{Double Board-Certified | Rhinoplasty Specialist | Devoted Philanthropist}

At the helm of our practice is Dr. Umang Mehta, an internationally renowned facial plastic surgeon and rhinoplasty specialist who brings more than two decades of experience and unrivaled artistry to every procedure. Dr. Umang graduated from Stanford with honors in biological sciences, trained in Beverly Hills, and lectures around the globe on behalf of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (AAFPRS).

When I approach a procedure—from rhinoplasty to injectables—I think of myself as an artist being commissioned for a work of art. I derive joy from helping people feel better about themselves—medically, aesthetically, and emotionally. The confidence that my patients receive from a well-performed surgery can be life-changing.
