Meet Dr. Ajani Nugent
Dr. Nugent is a highly regarded board certified plastic surgeon with almost a decade of experience since completing training at Emory University and University of Miami. He is one of the few board certified full body plastic surgeons in Manhattan that is also board certified in ENT. This unique combination has positioned him to be equally proficient and comfortable with both facial and body aesthetics.
By combining his strong command of facial anatomy from his ENT residency along with facial aesthetic training while in Miami, Dr Nugent is excited to offer the latest facial rejuvenation techniques including SMAS facelift and minimally invasive Renuvion neck contouring to his patients.
He is a devoted husband and father, and enjoys traveling with his wife (also a plastic surgeon) and their young daughter.
