Nuveen Cosmetic Surgery

Outstanding qualifications do not guarantee a successful outcome, but they can guide you to select a surgeon whose training and background will help you to meet your personal goals. Dr. Nuveen is a rare and uniquely qualified cosmetic surgeon located in Oklahoma City, holding both medical and dental graduate degrees in addition to subspecialized fellowship training in cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Nuveen's practice is one of the largest individual practices of cosmetic surgery in the United States. Dr. Nuveen is an instructor to other physicians in cosmetic surgery and spends a significant portion of his professional life involved in the education and training of physicians in the area of cosmetic surgery. He is the Director of Fellowship, accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and Associate Professor, Dept. of Oral/ Maxillofacial Surgery at OU Medical Center.

Dr. Nuveen's father was an orthodontist, which inspired him to earn his first graduate degree in dentistry from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, widely considered the finest dental school in the United States. He additionally devoted one year to research in the area of immunology and rheumatology.

It was during this period that Dr. Nuveen developed his dedication to the subspecialty of cosmetic surgery. This came as a result of his exposure to cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face of children with facial differences and deformity.

Dr. Nuveen then completed a total of five years of post graduate training in surgery of the maxillofacial and craniofacial region at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles and MetroHealth Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. After completion of his first residency in surgery, he achieved his medical degree from the prestigious Case Western University School of Medicine. This was followed by an additional year of general surgery residency at Penn State/Hershey Medical Center. Throughout this educational course, Dr. Nuveen focused all of his elective time to the area of facial and cosmetic surgery with experts from Toronto Sick Children's Hospital, UCLA Medical Center, and Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in order to provide his patients the highest level of care available.

This impressive resume led to his acceptance into fellowship in cosmetic surgery of the face and body in Salt Lake City, Utah. This fellowship is fully accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and was the busiest of its kind in country. Fellowship training is the highest level of training and education available in the subspecialty of cosmetic surgery.

During this dedicated experience, he performed more than 1,000 cosmetic procedures in exclusively cosmetic surgery of the face and body. Since completion of his fellowship, he has performed more than 10,000 surgical procedures to patients from throughout the world. This volume is unparalleled in the world of cosmetic surgery, which creates more predictable outcomes as more than 99% of his patients report in third-party patient surveys that they will refer a friend or family member to our facility for their care.

His specialized education and dedicated focus to all aspects of cosmetic surgery make him extremely rare. There are only four other physicians in the state of Oklahoma with similar training. Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Nuveen loves what he does and his enthusiasm shows.

Dr. Nuveen provides his cell phone number and 24-hour on-call services and availability to all of his patients. Never delay in calling to ask questions or to voice concerns during your recovery. This may be the single most valuable aspect of caring for patients.
