About Dr. Johnson
Dr. Nathaniel Johnson III is a world-renowned leader in laparoscopic cosmetic surgery. He is trained in all facets of liposuction and fat transfer and specializes in lipoplasty under local anesthesia, which is the safest and most appropriate liposuction available.
An accomplished cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Johnson is certified in the area of liposuction by the Pelosi Medical Center, a leading educational facility recognized by the American Association of Cosmetic Surgeons (AACS). Along with being a member of AACS, Dr. Johnson is a highly respected gynecologist with over 20 years of in-field experience.
Dr. Johnson holds a B.S. degree in biology from Winston Salem State University. He also holds a B.S. degree in Public Health from the University of North Carolina (UNC). Discovering his calling early, Dr. Johnson opted to further his studies and obtained a medical degree from UNC as well. In addition to serving as the president of the Student National Medical Association, Dr. Johnson graduated at the top 10 percent of his class.
In 1989, Dr. Johnson relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to complete his residency at Emory University’s School of Medicine. Prior to establishing his cosmetic practice, he administered OB/GYN services at Emory Hospital for five years. Reputation and the desire to mentor aspiring physicians led Dr. Johnson to a clinical professorship in the OB/GYN department at Emory University’s School of Medicine. It is a role he maintained through 2008.
While an OB/GYN physician, Dr. Johnson became privy to insecurities women have and their desire to mask those insecurities same as one would mask blemishes. Realizing that lack of self confidence transcended gender and race, Dr. Johnson sought to meet a glaring need. He pursued training and insight from the best and brightest minds in what has become a booming industry: cosmetic surgery.
Today, Dr. Johnson’s practice is helping to redefine beauty for a diverse client base including Asian, African American, and Latino men and women. “Beauty lies within us all,” says Johnson. “My job is simply to bring out the beauty in each person.”
In his practice, Dr. Johnson balances the need for cosmetic enhancement and personal care with natural beauty and self esteem. Through education, he empowers patients to make safe, informed decisions.
Furthering his goal for the world to realize that, “every BODY is beautiful,” Dr. Johnson remains abreast of new treatments. He teaches laparoscopic surgery throughout the U.S. and abroad and pioneers new techniques in liposuction such as the Johnson Triangle and the Brazilian Buttock Lift.
Dr. Johnson is an active member of the American Association of Cosmetic Surgeons as well as the International Society of Cosmetogynecologist.
