About Amarpreet D. Singh, MD
Board-certified cosmetic surgeon Amarpreet Singh, MD, believes in and has developed a unique holistic approach to aesthetic medicine that combines diet and nutrition with his cosmetic and surgical procedures. He achieves this in his own life through a balance between his work and personal time, as well as between his two types of practices—his cosmetic practice at Lotus and his surgical practice in Manhattan, where he takes care of trauma, congenital, and cancer-related reconstructive procedures. In addition to these practices, he holds an academic appointment as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Oculofacial plastic surgery at Columbia University, where he enjoys teaching residents from various surgical specialties. “Knowing that I have educational responsibilities to these young doctors forces me to keep abreast of the latest techniques and most up-to-date developments in my field.” Part of being up-to-date is not only through offering the most cutting-edge equipment and technical innovations, but also by instructing his clinical nutrition team to develop simple, effective changes in his patients’ lifestyles before, during, and after his procedures. These changes can lead to enhanced patient outcomes and satisfaction when compared to surgeons with no knowledge of this holistic approach. Dr. Singh is very proud of the fact that he can provide a holistic approach to his patients. “We really want to take care of the person as a whole. It’s not enough for me to just take away a patient’s love handles then set them free. We like to keep people engaged, and we like to make sure that they continue on the path that they started on, a path to a healthier lifestyle.” To Dr. Singh, his patients are not business commodities. The litmus test for me is how do I advise those who are close to me? How would I treat my friends and my family? If I can’t do the same thing for my patients, then I’m doing something wrong. Dr. Singh is involved in a variety of charitable activities. He is a member of Faces of Honor, a program sponsored by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The purpose of this program is to offer pro bono medical and surgical services to veterans and active duty members who were injured while deployed in support of the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. “This is my way to provide a thank you to the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. In addition, he frequently travels overseas as part of an international contingent of surgeons on humanitarian missions, most recently in Philippines and Russia. They donate reconstructive facial surgery services to impoverished populations in the Third World. During these missions, not only do we perform reconstructive surgeries on children and adults, but also train local surgeons on techniques to allow them to better care for patients in the future. Dr. Singh is one of the select few surgeons worldwide who has trained in not only plastic surgery around the eyes, but is also a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. His training blends the best techniques from General Plastic Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery, Eyelid Plastic Surgery as well as Liposuction Surgery. This allows him to fully evaluate each patient using a holistic approach and to tailor a custom plan for you.
