This one-year Facial Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship is offered under the direction of Dr. Nizam, a recognized leader who serves on the board of facial cosmetic surgery.

The program provides intensive, focused training across all facets of facial cosmetic surgery, conducted within our QUAD A-accredited surgical facilities.

As Alabama Surgical Arts operates as a hybrid Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) practice, the Fellow will also gain significant supplemental experience, including:

• Advanced Full-Arch Dental Implant Placement: Utilizing a comprehensive digital workflow.
• MedSpa Operations: Hands-on experience within our integrated medical spa.
• Hybrid Practice Management: Exposure to the operational dynamics of running a dual-focus surgical practice.

An additional elective opportunity is available to gain further expertise in Rhinoplasty through training with Dr. Kapil Siegl in Orlando, Florida, during the fellowship year.
