Dr. Arya Namin

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he learned the value of hard work and perseverance early, from parents who modeled it every day: an immigrant entrepreneur and a policewoman. His promise as a student earned him a place in Saint Louis University’s Medical Scholars program, admitting him to medical school directly from high school. It was in St. Louis that he met his wife, Jamie; today they are raising two children together.

In his fellowship year under the renowned Dr. Yadranko Ducic he performed more than 1,000 operations, including 100 microvascular free tissue transfers and 100 rhinoplasties, and studied deep plane facelift surgery with leading experts including Dr. Jordan Rihani. His extensive experience in facial nerve surgery and parotidectomy, among the most exacting work in the field, underpins everything he does.

Today his practice is built on three pillars: rhinoplasty, facelift, and reconstructive surgery, with more than 500 operations each year. For him the cosmetic and reconstructive sides of facial surgery are inseparable: reconstructive work sharpens his craft, and the opportunity to restore patients and give back to his community makes the work deeply gratifying.

His mission is simple: to enhance life’s joyful moments, and to ease its difficult ones.
