Dr. Daniel Barker, Facial Plastic Surgery Specialist | Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeon

Refined, natural, and artistically precise, Dr. Daniel Barker brings world-class training and a patient-first philosophy to every procedure, helping patients restore confidence through elevated facial aesthetics and minimally invasive rejuvenation techniques.

Facial Expertise, Rooted in Precision

Dr. Daniel Barker combines elite surgical training with a deeply personal commitment to aesthetic excellence. A graduate of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Dr. Barker completed his residency and advanced training in Facial Plastic Surgery at UVA and UCLA, equipping him with exceptional expertise in delicate, high-impact procedures of the face and neck.

His work is defined by balance, symmetry, and subtlety. Whether performing rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, otoplasty, or facelifts, Dr. Barker focuses on enhancing each patient’s natural beauty, not changing it. He is also highly experienced in neck lifts, lip lifts, skin cancer removal and repair, and injectable treatments, including lasers and dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation.

International Experience, Local Dedication

Originally from Chattanooga, Dr. Barker brings a global perspective and local accessibility to his patients across Georgia and Tennessee. Before returning home to join Southern Surgical Arts, he practiced in New York City as a facial plastic surgeon and received additional training in microvascular techniques. Dr. Barker is fluent in conversational Spanish and has traveled extensively through Europe, Central, and South America—experiences that broaden his cultural understanding and enrich his patient communication.

Aesthetic Outcomes, Human Connection

Known for his calm, thoughtful demeanor and precision-first approach, Dr. Barker is passionate about helping patients feel understood, supported, and confident. He believes in full transparency and never rushes the consultation process, ensuring patients feel educated and empowered every step of the way.

Outside the OR

When he’s not in surgery or seeing patients, Dr. Barker is often outdoors—whitewater kayaking, paddleboarding, or trail running. He’s also a devoted father to two daughters, Maddie and Kate, and shares his home with his rescue dog, Lily.
