Q & A with Dr. Navin Singh
Our philosophy is simple and to the point. You are the number one priority. Your results are the only things that count. Awards and education don’t count. Techniques don’t count. The only thing that counts is your outcome. We’re single mindedly focused on the patient experience and patient journey.
I grew up in New York City in Manhattan and then went off to college at Brown University in Providence Rhode Island. Then Harvard, then Johns Hopkins, where I completed my plastic surgery education. I spent seven years serving as the director of cosmetic surgery in the residency program director, teaching residents and medical students at John’s Hopkins before embarking on my private practice in the DC area. Well when people say, where did you grow up? I like to think I never grew up, and never will.
I always want to be childlike in my wonder and inquisitiveness and always look at things with fresh eyes. I wish to remain here and will remain a perpetual student. Both of life, love, and of my love of plastic surgery.
When I entered medical school, I thought I would become a cardiac surgeon, but while rotating on plastic surgery, I quickly fell in love with it for the entire variety and breath of plastic surgery. I’ve done everything from repair of children with cleft lip and palates and birth deformities, uncharity missions and Peru, India, China and Ecuador. From children with birth defects to burn injuries to breast cancer reconstruction for women, to cosmetic surgery, I love each and every part of it. And good reconstructive surgery is cosmetic surgery.
What I find fulfilling is that everywhere I go, what I find fulfilling is the smiles on my patient’s faces. I love seeing their confidence and their renewed enthusiasm about their body- whether it was regaining their body after pregnancies, after weight loss or over the age effects of aging.
What do I like most about being a plastic surgeon-Every day is a satisfying day. I wake up knowing that I’m going to make a difference in people’s lives and that most of them will be exceedingly happy because of my commitment to them.
I thought it was a specialty that was just vanity and was not serious medicine, but as I’ve done more and more, I see the impact that it makes on people and it is a surgery of wellness. Yes, other medical specialties do remarkable things and I salute that, but just as much as we want more years in our life, we want more life in our ears.
My principal practice is facial rejuvenation including deep plane neck lifts, face lifts, and upper and lower eye rejuvenation, mommy makeovers, body conturing, breast surgery, rejuvenation, tummy tuck.
There is no substitute for hard work, good education, and more hard work. People may become successful because they’ve got great Instagram videos or funny videos, but there is no substitute and no substitute for skill and hard work to earn your reputation.
One of my mentors who still practices facial plastic surgery in DC, taught me that you make your living by who you operate on, but you make your reputation by who you don’t operate on.
I love biking with my children and wife. On a weekend we can typically cover over 50 miles. We like being outdoors, boating and having adventures every day.
Live, laugh, love. Just joking. Passionate, indefatigable, diligent and perfectionist.
I think they choose me because when they speak with me and talk to me, they know there is no pretension, that I’m approachable, that I listen, that I want to give them what they want and that they know from or look at my before and after work and my demeanor that I can in earnest, give them the results that they seek.
