Meet Dr. Anureet Bajaj
Plastic Surgeon in Oklahoma City
Dr. Anu Bajaj is a Board Certified plastic surgeon, raised, educated and trained in the United States, and licensed to practice surgery in four states, including Oklahoma.
After growing up in Oklahoma City, she moved to Houston and attended Rice University where she majored in English and History. While in medical school, she decided to pursue a career in plastic surgery after witnessing several extensive cancer resections.
Surgeries that removed a cancer invariably left the patient severely disfigured.
She became passionate about reconstructive surgery after cancer because she believed that plastic surgery was the only specialty that sought to make a patient whole.
Unlike other surgeons who choose not to perform reconstructive surgery after developing a cosmetic surgery practice, Dr. Bajaj remains committed to breast reconstructive surgery after cancer because of her experience in medical school and is one of the few surgeons who perform the DIEP flap procedure for breast reconstruction. She also performs breast enhancement, breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other plastic surgical procedures.
Dr. Bajaj is active in several professional organizations, including associations of young plastic surgeons and women plastic surgeons. Dr. Bajaj is known for her friendly relationships with her patients. She also enjoys running and has run several marathons, drawing and painting, and reading.
