My name is Sam Oyer. I'm a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon here at UVA Health. My practice focuses exclusively on cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face and the neck.

One of my main focuses is facial paralysis treatment or something we call facial reanimation. And this is about bringing back as much motion as we can to a face that's affected by paralysis.

I also treat a wide variety of other disorders of the face, particularly rhinoplasty for breathing, facial reconstruction after trauma or skin cancers, and facial aesthetics to help with facial aging.

The face is really our identity and it's fascinating to get to work with that on a daily basis. That's how we see each other, how we identify and recognize each other. So when conditions affect people's faces, it really makes a big impact. So for me, to be able to help people in that situation is just a huge plus. It’s an honor for me to be able to treat those patients.

When a patient comes to see me, the first thing that they will do is an in-office consultation. My first goal is to listen and figure out what their goals are, why they're here, and how I can help them. And then I do a careful analysis of whichever part of the face they're concerned about. And then we can come up with a treatment plan, which involves in-office treatments for some, or surgical intervention for others.

Here at UVA, we have a great team of doctors. It's not just one individual person. And everyone is here for the same goal, that's to help individual patients get better. I think that really improves the patient quality and patient care that we can deliver.
