IN HIS OWN WORDS

So I was asked to write a summary of my experiences as a cosmetic surgeon by maybe highlighting some patients’ stories that will help shine light on my philosophy and vision for my brand.

Well, if you were expecting to read the usual ‘why I’m such a special surgeon”, I’m happy to tell you that this story is different. My story is different, it’s not better or the best, but it is what made me authentic. Most importantly, I am NOT better or the best, and that’s where my story begins. As an immigrant from Vietnam who had barely escaped by boat in 1978, I knew I have been living by the Grace of God. I was 8 years old at that time so of course I knew nothing about Him. All I knew is that he had given me the best mother and stepfather after taking me safely to the best country in the world, The United States of America. Here is where I become a Dermatologist. God gave me a gift to not only use my mind, but my hands. After becoming proficient in skin cancer surgery and reconstruction, I became fascinated with cosmetic surgery and therefore, decided to do a fellowship in cosmetic surgery. After my fellowship , I was ready to perform cosmetic surgery, but I decided to spend 6 months traveling the world to see the best surgeons in various procedures. I opened my first practice in 2001 when I felt I could be the best. Now, remember that I previously that I said my story was going to be ‘different’, not ‘better’ or ‘best’. That’s where the second half of the story begins.

When I opened my first practice in 2001 as a Dermatologist, I saw dermatology patients and performed removal and reconstructive surgery for skin cancers. I also performed cosmetic procedures such as breast surgery, liposuction, tummy tuck, and buttock augmentation as I continued traveling to learn from other incredible cosmetic surgeons. Ironically, it was my breast augmentation technique and results that catapulted my practice. Unfortunately, with notoriety came battles from competitors. My mentor told me to give up doing breast surgery because plastic surgeons will eat me alive. A dermatologist performing breast surgery is so advanced in medicine that most patients would understand it. Fortunately, my memory of my boat trip from Vietnam silenced the criticism in my head and empowered me to be one of the best in cosmetic surgery. This is thanks to all my mentors, and of course, all comes from my savior, Jesus Christ, my Lord.
