Profile of Douglas Sidle, Dr

As Director of the Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Douglas M. Sidle believes in developing a close relationship with his patients so that he may learn as much as he can about their needs and concerns. It is his belief that as a surgeon, he takes on the responsibilities of educating, supporting, and counseling his patients. In addition to performing the procedures, he is actively involved with his patients before their procedures and through every step of the recovery process. His humanistic approach coupled with his excellent background and technical skill in facial plastic surgery provides a sense of security and reassurance to his patients.

He is skilled in both primary and revision rhinoplasty for the improvement of both appearance and breathing. Some of his most commonly performed procedures include complex nasal reconstruction, facial rejuvenation (facelifts, neck lifts, brow lifts, and eyelid surgery), and reconstruction of deformities related to congenital problems, previous trauma, or skin cancer surgery.

He is trained in a wide range of in-office procedures for facial rejuvenation, including Botox, Restylane, Juvederm, and skin resurfacing to combat signs of aging, sun damage, and scarring.

Finally, he has extensive training in hair restoration surgery, including hair transplantation and hairline lowering. His philosophy regarding cosmetic and reconstructive procedures is to strive for aesthetic improvements that are natural and harmonious with each patient’s individual features, avoiding an artificial, “operated” appearance.
