At Columbus Facial Plastics, we’re proud of our founder, Dr. Stephen Nogan, and his commitment to excellence in facial plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine. Recently, Dr. Nogan was featured in an interview with Entrepreneurs of Columbus, where he shared insights into his journey as a physician entrepreneur and his vision for our practice. We’re excited to share some highlights from this interview and how they reflect our core values and services.
A Unique Path to Practice Ownership
Dr. Nogan’s journey to owning Columbus Facial Plastics is a testament to his dedication and expertise. After completing his fellowship at Ohio State in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in 2016, he developed a close relationship with Dr. Sullivan at The Sullivan Centre. This mentorship evolved into a transition of practice ownership, with Dr. Nogan taking over as practice owner of Columbus Facial Plastics in January 2020.
“From 2016 to 2019, our relationship evolved from fellowship mentor/mentee to colleagues in facial plastic surgery. I got to know his patients and his team quite well over time, and I had a ton of respect for what he and his wife had built and how he took such great care of his patients.” – Dr. Stephen Nogan
This transition highlights the importance of mentorship and continuity of care in our field, ensuring that our patients always receive the highest quality of treatment.
Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Growth
Like many businesses, Columbus Facial Plastics faced significant challenges during the 2020 pandemic. However, Dr. Nogan’s leadership and the dedication of our team allowed us to not only survive but thrive during this difficult period.
“The turning point for me came in May 2020 when we were permitted to reopen. We opened our doors on a Saturday morning, and I was amazed by the response from our loyal clients and outstanding team members. I knew then that we had something special, and we have never looked back.” – Dr. Stephen Nogan
This experience reinforced our commitment to patient care and team support, which are fundamental to our practice’s success.
Our Approach to Patient Care
At Columbus Facial Plastics, we offer a wide range of services, from surgical procedures like rhinoplasty and facelifts to non-surgical treatments like Botox and laser resurfacing. Dr. Nogan emphasizes the importance of following the science in all our treatments and procedures:
“We have a very serious obligation to follow the science when it comes to what treatments and procedures we offer, and when the science doesn’t exist or something doesn’t feel right, we have to be willing to pass.” – Dr. Stephen Nogan
This commitment to evidence-based practice ensures that our patients receive safe, effective treatments that deliver real results.
Innovations in Aesthetic Medicine
Dr. Nogan is excited about the future of aesthetic medicine and the advancements we’re bringing to Columbus Facial Plastics. Some recent innovations include:
- New laser technology for improved skin health and appearance
- Expansion into health and wellness services, including Lifestyle Medicine
- Customized combination treatments for optimal results
These advancements allow us to offer more comprehensive care to our patients, addressing both aesthetic concerns and overall well-being.
Commitment to the Columbus Community
As a practice deeply rooted in Columbus, we’re committed to giving back to our community. Dr. Nogan organizes surgical mission trips to Honduras, demonstrating our dedication to making a positive impact beyond our local area.
“We organize a couple surgical trips each year to Honduras which requires months of planning and helps me keep a healthy perspective on things throughout the year.” – Dr. Stephen Nogan
This global perspective informs our approach to patient care and reinforces our commitment to excellence in all that we do.
Looking to the Future
As we continue to grow and evolve, Columbus Facial Plastics remains dedicated to providing exceptional care and results for our patients. We’re excited about the advances in skin science and biological aging that are on the horizon and look forward to bringing these innovations to our practice.
