About Aric Aghayan, MD

Dr. Aric Aghayan is a board-certified cosmetic surgeon at Après Plastic Surgery in Portland, Oregon, where he performs reconstructive and cosmetic surgery using both precise surgical techniques and an artistic flair to create natural-looking results. Dr. Aghayan received his undergraduate degree as well as his MD from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. After completing his undergraduate education, he went on to complete eight (8) years of additional surgical residency and training at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU).
