Dr. Audrey Nguyen
As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Nguyen was drawn to this practice’s shared vision of combining artistry with surgical precision. Her commitment to that vision is built on a foundation of academic and technical excellence.
This path began at UCLA, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude in Bioengineering, grounding her approach in the innovation essential to their work. Her pursuit of excellence continued at the UC Irvine School of Medicine, where her performance earned her the distinction of graduating first in her class. This was recognized with the Dean’s Award for Outstanding Graduating Student, and she was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society.
She completed her residency at UC San Francisco (UCSF), widely regarded as one of the nation’s top-tier training programs and a true “top institution.” This elite training provided her with the surgical skill necessary to uphold this practice’s core mission: providing the highest standard of care, ensuring patient trust, and achieving the natural, beautiful results that restore confidence and well-being.
