Training and board certification
Per his bio page, Dr. Nuveen is triple-board certified in General Cosmetic Surgery, Facial Cosmetic Surgery, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and holds two graduate degrees, D.M.D. and M.D. (bio). His first graduate degree is from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. He completed an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency beginning at UCLA Harbor Medical Center in Torrance, California, completed at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He then completed a medical degree, with 14 months of clinical requirements fulfilled in craniofacial, microvascular, cosmetic and pediatric plastic surgery, an additional year in general surgery at Hershey Penn State Medical Center, and a 14-month fellowship in General and Facial Cosmetic Surgery in Salt Lake City, Utah, described on the site as "the busiest fellowship in the United States at that time." The site states 14 years of training after college. He is an accredited fellowship director and is active in residency education associated with the University of Oklahoma, and the site credits him with ten textbook chapters and 28 first-author publications. He is the founder and immediate past CEO of Olympus Cosmetic Group, which Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates is part of.
Eyelid surgery work
The Oklahoma City blepharoplasty page, written at the practice level rather than attributed to one surgeon, lists treatment time of 1 hour, local or IV sedation anesthesia, and downtime of 2 to 4 days (source). It describes the technique as an incision along the natural eyelid fold to extract excess fat and tissue and trim excess skin, closed with fine sutures; for lower eyelids, the incision can sometimes be hidden inside the conjunctiva (transconjunctival). Pre-care instructions include avoiding contacts/glasses at the appointment and avoiding aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medications as directed. Post-care instructions include having someone stay with the patient the night after surgery, avoiding exercise and strenuous activity for at least 6 weeks, and keeping the head elevated for the first few days.
A separate brow lift page is also listed for the Oklahoma City location (source).
The practice's before-and-after gallery page is a single filterable page offering "Blepharoplasty" and "Lower Blepharoplasty" checkbox filters among its treatment categories (source); there is no separate static URL per procedure filter, and the filter is shared across the practice's four surgeons and two locations rather than specific to Dr. Nuveen.
Other procedures
Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates' site describes breast surgery, body surgery, facial surgery, non-surgical services and transgender surgery at both its Oklahoma City and Jacksonville, FL locations (source). Dr. Nuveen's bio states his two areas of ongoing focus are massive weight loss management and complex facial restoration.
