About Nitin J. Engineer, MD, FACS

Dr. Nitin J. Engineer is an accredited fellowship-trained Plastic Surgeon specializing in Aesthetic, Reconstructive, Hand, and Microvascular Surgery. He is the founder, CEO, and principal surgeon at Engineered Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Institute, which is dedicated to serving the greater Las Vegas metropolitan area. Dr. Engineer developed a very early interest in the surgical specialties when he secured one of only two positions as a high-school student to work as an Anesthesia Technician in the operating room in his hometown of Macon, Georgia. He held this position for three consecutive years, and this rare opportunity would be the foundation of his deeply rooted passion for plastic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Engineer’s earliest experiences in the operating room exposed and allowed him to observe complex reconstructive operations involving the entire human body. His greatest admiration for plastic and reconstructive surgery is the emphasis on not only reconstruction of form but also restoration of function for patients. Furthermore, Dr. Engineer’s extensive experience in Reconstructive Plastic Surgery has prepared him for his successful career in the field of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, which he considers to be the perfect union of art and science. Dr. Engineer has completed a total of 10 years of postgraduate training in plastic surgery, hand surgery, and general surgery to refine his surgical skills and provide the most comprehensive and compassionate care to all of his patients. In addition, he has extensive experience as a practicing surgeon, who developed a successful private practice for 10 years. As a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), Dr. Engineer has achieved board certification in General Surgery and Hand and Microvascular Surgery and is board-eligible in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Upon his return to the Las Vegas Valley, Dr. Engineer founded Engineered Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Institute in January 2020. The goal of his new practice is to provide a unique and individual experience to each patient in a boutique environment, which allows one to achieve their ultimate plastic surgical goals. Dr. Engineer is known for his kind demeanor and dedication to spending a great amount of time educating his patients, answering all questions regarding their plastic surgical concerns, and setting realistic expectations. In light of his comprehensive training in aesthetic surgery, Dr. Engineer has developed a passion and surgical expertise in cosmetic procedures of the face, breast, and body. His particular interests include rhinoplasty, facelift, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, and breast revision surgery. He also specializes in body contouring with liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), mommy makeover procedures, and cosmetic surgery for men, including hair transplantation. Finally, Dr. Engineer also offers an array of nonsurgical aesthetic treatment options including injections with neuromodulators (eg. Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau) and hyaluronic acid fillers (eg. Juvederm and Restylane), Sculptra, chemical peels, laser therapy, and numerous other skin rejuvenation products. Dr. Engineer looks forward to meeting you in consultation to discuss and offer the best treatment options to address your aesthetic goals and achieve the beauty you see in yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Breast Lifts: How do they work?

During a breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, your surgeon will remove excess, stretched skin on the breasts and tighten skin on surrounding areas. The nipple will be placed according to the new shape of your breasts, and the areola may be made smaller as well. Overall, a more lifted, even, and youthful shape of the breasts may be lastingly created through a breast lift. A breast lift does not add size to your breasts, but the boosted profile of the breasts post-mastopexy often creates the appearance of more fullness. Depending upon your specific goals, a breast lift in Las Vegas may be combined with a breast augmentation or breast reduction surgery in order to change the size as well as the profile of the bustline.

How does breast augmentation work?

Breast augmentation employs the use of implants to achieve the breast size and shape you desire. There are different types of implants: SALINE implants are surgically placed in the breast tissue, and then filled with sterile salt water to the size agreed upon by the doctor and patient. Because the silicone implant shell is implanted and placed prior to filling, they may require less invasive surgical incisions. Selecting saline implants may minimize the risk of scarring. SILICONE implants are pre-filled with silicone gel made to mimic the feel of natural breast tissue. The circular shape allows the breast augmentation to increase the size and protrusion of the breasts. Some patients feel that the look and feel of silicone implants create a more natural result. ANATOMIC implants are made of silicone, and are teardrop shaped instead of circular. Some women feel that this shape more naturally mimics their natural breast shape while providing the increase in size they desire.

What can a Facelift do for You?

A facelift is a restorative operation that will help you regain a more youthful appearance by removing excess skin and literally “lifting” the face. The skin is skillfully adjusted to adhere to your face and neck’s new contour. It can improve sagging in the mid-face (dermal fillers may be used for more moderate cases of sagging), reduce significant creases under the eyes, reduce nasolabial folds and marionette lines, increase definition in the jaw and chin, decrease sagging in the neck. While a facelift in Las Vegas can attain remarkable, transformative results, it cannot stop the aging process, and maintaining your results may require further non-surgical or surgical interventions in the future. At Engineered Aesthetics Plastic Surgery, we will work with you to establish a maintenance plan to help preserve your results far into the future.

Why choose Dr. Engineer for your mommy makeover?

A Mommy Makeover involves several surgical and cosmetic procedures, all of which have risks. It is vital that you select a fully licensed and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon to perform your Mommy Makeover in Las Vegas, both for your safety and to ensure you have the best possible chance of achieving your desired results.
