    .
    ✅ I completed my surgery training in NY, where I graduated from the prestigious Integrated Plastic Surgery Residency Program offered by Stony Brook University Hospital (SBUH), Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC), and the Long Island Plastic Surgery Group (LIPSG).
    .
    ✅ During my extensive plastic surgery training, I worked with many leading names in the field. This helped me develop and hone my skills across a wide range of subspecialties, including: Aesthetic Surgery, Body Contouring, Breast Surgery, Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Hand Surgery, Reconstructive Surgery, Burn Surgery, and many others.
    .
    ✅ To further augment and refine my skills, I then pursued additional optional training with a world-renowned master of complex face, neck, breast, and body aesthetic procedures.
