Dr. Deepak Raj Dugar, MD is the only rhinoplasty surgeon in the United States whose entire surgical practice is dedicated to a single operation. That operation is Closed Scarless Nose® Rhinoplasty, in which all incisions are placed inside the nostrils and no external scar is created. By design, it is also the procedure he has performed more than any other surgeon in the country.
Choosing a rhinoplasty clinic in Beverly Hills comes down to a question most patients never think to ask: what share of a surgeon's annual cases is actually rhinoplasty? At Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Center, that share is the whole of it. Here is what the record behind that claim looks like.
The Only Single-Specialty Rhinoplasty Practice in the United States
Dr. Dugar is the only rhinoplasty surgeon in the United States whose entire surgical practice is dedicated to Closed Scarless Rhinoplasty.
The logic is straightforward: mastery is incompatible with divided attention. A surgeon who operates on noses between facelifts and body contouring accumulates rhinoplasty experience far more slowly than one who performs only rhinoplasty. At approximately 300 Scarless Nose® cases per year, with more than 3,000 endonasal rhinoplasties performed to date, Dr. Dugar has built the kind of repetition that reshapes how a surgeon reads and responds to a nose.
What Sets This Practice Apart
Several factors distinguish Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Center from other rhinoplasty clinics in the area:
- Double board certification: Dr. Dugar holds certification from both the American Board of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Among surgeons performing cosmetic nasal surgery in the United States, only a fraction holds both.
- Legacy fellowship training: He was selected as the final legacy fellow of Dr. Raj Kanodia's Advanced Closed Rhinoplasty Fellowship, a one-on-one apprenticeship in the closed, endonasal technique he now performs daily.
- Published authority: Dr. Dugar co-authored Chapter 20 of Master Techniques in Rhinoplasty, Second Edition (2026), one of the most widely referenced rhinoplasty textbooks in the field.
- Federal facility certification: Surgery takes place in a private outpatient surgery center holding Medicare and Medicaid certification, the highest level a surgical facility in California can carry.
- International recognition: More than 27 invited presentations across the United States, Europe, South America, and Asia, including a 2024 panel with the Argentina Plastic Surgery Society.
A Facility Built for One Procedure
Other rhinoplasty clinics in Beverly Hills often operate out of shared hospital operating rooms or office-based suites, where the team and equipment vary from case to case. At Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Center, every case is performed in the same private surgery center with the same board-certified MD anesthesiologists and the same specialized rhinoplasty nurses.
Earning Medicare and Medicaid certification requires documented compliance with federal standards governing sterilization, anesthesia, infection control, emergency preparedness, and surgical outcomes. Inspection is unannounced, and recertification is ongoing. Most rhinoplasty offices in Beverly Hills do not hold it. The atelier does, for every case.
The Philosophy Behind the Results
Dr. Dugar's approach traces back to Jacques Joseph, the father of modern rhinoplasty. That technique traveled through a direct chain of mentorship spanning more than seven decades, passing from Irving Goldman to Howard Diamond to Morey Parkes to Raj Kanodia, before Dr. Dugar was selected as the final legacy fellow of a program that accepted one surgeon at a time.
Rather than rebuilding from a template, the practice removes only what obscures a nose's natural proportion. The goal in every case is a result that settles into the face with no visible sign that surgery took place.
