Stanley Yung Liu, MD, DDS
Sleep surgeon, Oral and maxillofacial surgeon
Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery at the Stanford University Medical Center
Bio:
Dr. Liu joined the Stanford University School of Medicine faculty as an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology in 2014. He currently serves as co-director of the Stanford Sleep Surgery Fellowship Program. He practices the full scope of sleep apnea surgery.
Dr. Liu boarded at The Lawrenceville School before attending Stanford as an undergraduate student. He received his medical and dental degrees at the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF). During predoctoral training, he spent one year at the NIH as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Research Scholar (Cloister Program). He also completed the UCSF Advanced Training in Clinical Research (ATCR) fellowship. After maxillofacial surgery residency at UCSF, Dr. Liu completed his sleep surgery fellowship at Stanford with the Department of Otolaryngology and Dr. Robert Riley.
In addition to the full scope of sleep apnea surgery (nasal, palatal, tongue-base, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, genioglossus advancement, maxillomandibular advancement), Dr. Liu has expertise in orthognathic surgery (particularly surgery-first orthognathic surgery), esthetic facial bone contouring, and repair of complex primary and secondary facial trauma. In that capacity, he also serves as a preceptor for the Stanford Oculoplastic Surgery Fellowship.
Dr. Liu has lectured extensively in the U.S. and internationally on sleep apnea surgery. His active areas of research include dynamic airway examination in sleep apnea, virtual surgical planning in facial skeletal surgery, and neuromodulation of the head and neck.
