Dr. Agnihotri is all about family. He treats each patient as if they are a part of his own. This is one of the many reasons why he has been voted Top Cosmetic Surgeon by Style Weekly & Virginia Living three years in a row and won multiple Top Doctor Awards in Richmond Magazine.

Dr. Agnihotri is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He is board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He has Cosmetic Surgery Procedures Certification and maintains his medical license from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Dr. Agnihotri is also an executive council member of the Virginia Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

So what does all this mean? It means he is an expert of the face. His background in Oral & Maxillofacial surgery literally translates to he can only operate from the neck up. Most plastic surgeons can operate on the whole body, but at ACS Cosmetic our only focus is on your most precious asset.

Being a surgeon has always driven Dr. Agnihotri to give back and pay it forward. His dedication to community support extends across numerous local Richmond charities, children’s programs, and national nonprofit organizations. Dr. Agnihotri and his wife proudly support several impactful Richmond-based initiatives, including Greater Richmond SCAN, the Richmond ARC Ladybug Foundation, Girls on the Run Richmond, the Live Your Dash Luncheon through Full Circle Grief Center, Greater Richmond Fit4Kids, and Richmond Ballet for All. Each of these organizations align with his commitment to improving community health and wellness.

His service-focused mindset began early in his career. During his residency, Dr. Agnihotri volunteered with SmileTrain, an international children’s charity dedicated to providing sustainable surgical care for cleft lip and palate. This experience reinforced his passion for helping patients address aesthetic, functional, and social needs, a priority he continues to uphold today.

Whether through hands-on service, local philanthropy, or international outreach, Dr. Agnihotri remains committed to strengthening the community and improving the lives of the patients and families he serves.

Dr. Agnihotri is also a clinical assistant professor at VCU’s School of Dentistry, in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He routinely attends, and schedule permitting will speak, at local, regional, and national orthognathic and cosmetic facial surgery lectures.

If you haven’t met him yet, the quickest way to his heart is through some sort of outdoor fitness activity. Dr. A can always be seen training for something – whether it be running marathons, triathlons, obstacle courses or completing an IronMan!  His enthusiasm for self-care is evident in his team, as the team building activities include: Shiver in the River, the Monument Ave 10k, SportsBackers Corporate 5k and the Richmond Half Marathon events. But truly, His favorite out-of-office activity is spending time with his wife and their 3 children.
