Niamtu Cosmetic Facial Surgery
Here Comes the Sun
Several weeks ago, the media outlets were ablaze with the sensational picture of a career truck driver with severe sun damage on his “driver’s side” of his face. This picture shows his normal aging on his face and neck and the tremendously accelerated aging on the left side. I guess in some countries, the aging […]
Three “L’s” and a “C”
Every day, all day, I have pretty much the same conversation, mostly with women (but increasingly with men) about facial aging and methods of correction. Since we are all the same species, we all pretty age in a similar manner. Genetics and lifestyle definitely influence our aging, but for the most part, I can predict […]
Dr. Joe Niamtu named “Best Cosmetic Surgeon” by Style Magazine for Second Year in a Row.
As we still had the warm and fuzzies from being voted Best Cosmetic Surgeon by Virginia Living Magazine 2 weeks ago, we are once again on a high to be honored for the same award by Style Magazine. This is our second year in a row for Best Cosmetic Surgeon voted by Style Magazine readers […]
Dr. Niamtu on NBC; Botox Turns 10 Years Old
10 years ago, a revolutionary new cosmetic treatment became available that would change cosmetic surgery forever. Botox cosmetic was FDA approved to treat frown lines in April of 2002 but has been used 6-7 years before that by me and many other doctors. Botox represented a paradigm shift, as previous to this, there was no […]
Cosmetic Facial Surgery and Recovery
Recovery after cosmetic facial surgery (like any surgery) is extremely variable. Some patients breeze through it and others get the wind knocked out of their sails. There is really no predicting how one patient will recover versus another. I have had extremely fit 40 year old triathletes that were sore, swollen, bruised and lethargic after […]
A Small Non Surgical Procedure to Make You Look Younger in Minutes
The lower eyelids and cheeks are one of the first areas to show aging. Although surgical options such as blepharoplasty and cheek implants can provide great midfacial rejuvenation, many patients are not ready for surgery or cannot do surgery for various reasons. Augmenting the cheeks and tear trough region with injectable facial fillers such as […]

Mourning Junior Seau
I was stunned to hear on CNN yesterday afternoon that Junior Seau, the icon linebacker for the Chargers (and later Dolphins and Patriots) was dead at 43, an apparent victim of suicide. This guy was a multimillionaire in the prime of his life, a true hero, superstar, and celebrity; he seemed to have the world […]
Earlobe Repair
Actual patient of Dr. Niamtu Earlobe repair is a very common procedure in my cosmetic facial surgery practice. While most cases result from earrings tearing through the lobe, we also are doing more and more earlobe surgery for gauged earlobes that have been intentionally stretched. Earlobe tears result from heavy earrings, snagging earrings on towels, […]
Cosmetic Surgery for Men
The above patient was treated with facelift, eyelid surgery, cheek implants and laser skin resurfacing. Although females have dominated cosmetic surgery from its onset, the fastest growing segments include men and minorities. Men represent about 49% of the general population but only about 10% of cosmetic surgery patients. It is no longer “unmasculine” to want […]
