Samuel L. Oyer, MD, FACS

"Samuel L. Oyer, MD, FACS is board certified in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery as well as Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.  He received his undergraduate and medical degrees from Indiana University and went on to complete residency training in Otolaryngology at the Medical University of South Carolina.  He completed specialized fellowship training in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at Johns Hopkins University that encompassed the breadth of cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgeries.  After fellowship, Dr. Oyer joined the faculty at the Medical University of South Carolina where he practiced for 5 years rising to the rank of Associate Professor prior to transitioning to the University of Virginia.

Dr. Oyer’s practice is focused exclusively on cosmetic and reconstructive treatments of the head and neck in all age groups.  His interests include surgical and minimally invasive facial rejuvenation along with facial reconstruction following skin cancer removal or facial trauma.  He also has experience in cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty and a strong background treating facial paralysis."

“The impact of even minor and subtle changes in one’s face can be extremely meaningful to people.  Looking natural is the highest priority, allowing small changes to reach deep and improve your sense of well-being, self-confidence, and overall morale. Performing facial plastic surgery and having this impact on people is rewarding and a privilege that is never taken for granted.

Every face and every person is unique.  Whether a person is seeking facial rejuvenation or in need of reconstruction following an injury, we all want to present our best and most natural appearing face to the world.  My mission is to learn each person’s specific goals and motivations for treatment to arrive at an individualized plan that best accomplishes this goal."
