Dr. Amit Kochhar provides consultation for surgical management of the aging face and nasal airway, hair transplantation, and minimally invasive procedures for facial rejuvenation using laser, pulsed light, ultrasound, and radiofrequency energy. In addition to his expertise in facial rejuvenation, Dr. Kochhar is one of a select few surgeons who perform complex (microvascular) head and neck surgical reconstruction. He performs these procedures following cancer resections and facial trauma, as well as for the rehabilitation of facial paralysis, an area in which he has specific clinical expertise and research interest. Dr. Kochhar has published over 20 peer reviewed articles and book chapters on the management of facial nerve disorders, head and neck reconstruction, facial trauma and rhinoplasty.

In addition to his clinical duties caring for patients, and teaching residents, he continues to perform research and present at national meetings. He is excited to bring his unique combination of aesthetic and reconstructive surgical techniques to the patients of Southern California. His training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery has provided him with a diverse skill set that he can provide to each patient. He believes that each patient has unique experiences and perspectives that shape their goals of treatment. Thus, he strives to learn about his patients in depth and create a plan of care that meets each of their individual needs.
