Eyelid Surgery: Cost, Photos, Rewiews, Q&A

Name: Umang Mehta, MD

Statement: Dr. Umang Mehta is a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. At Mehta Plastic Surgery in the San Francisco Bay Area, he specializes in rhinoplasty, which makes up about 95% of the procedures in his practice. “What sets my approach to nasal surgery apart is that I’m continually trying to improve my techniques and get better as a surgeon,” he says. “Whether you took a hard fall on a surfboard and broke your nasal bones or want to straighten out a hump and lift a droopy tip, I can make your nose much more functional and help you achieve your aesthetic desires.” He is an expert at both first-time and revision rhinoplasty. Plus, he has extensive experience placing incisions both outside (the open surgical approach) and inside (the closed approach) the nose.

Dr. Mehta’s plastic surgery philosophy is that patients should look natural and not like they’ve had work done. “For me, the goals are for the patient to look more refreshed and younger—to be a more refined and better version of themselves,” he says. To ensure he understands your aesthetic goals, Dr. Mehta uses computer software to “morph” your nose. The computer-generated images help you envision your nose after surgery and foster communication about your desires, so that you and Dr. Mehta are on the same page going into the procedure.

Dr. Mehta received a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Stanford University (graduating with honors) and his medical degree from the Ohio State University College of Medicine. He completed an internship in general surgery and a residency in otolaryngology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. He then completed a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at the world-renowned Lasky Clinic in Beverly Hills, California, and the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California.

A RealSelf Top Doctor honoree, Dr. Mehta is board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. He is also a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

As a rhinoplasty expert, Dr. Mehta has lectured, taught, and published research articles and book chapters on the topic, including in the prestigious surgical textbook Master Techniques in Rhinoplasty. Dr. Mehta is also honored to be a Volunteer Clinical Professor at the University of California, San Francisco Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, instructing residents and fellows in rhinoplasty and other facial plastic surgery procedures.
