Patient Testimonials

Dr. Wang rolled back the clocks of time for me. I look like I did 10-15 years ago! Friends can't put their finger on what has changed and have asked if I lost weight or come back from vacation. I giggle inside as I no longer have those deep hollows under my eyes, the jowls, or the ugly turkey neck. I am one month out now and still in the process of healing but am overjoyed with the amazing results.

- S.D.

Dr. Wang has supported me before & after the surgery by standing by me as a professional which gave me psychological safety and emotional comfort. Knowing that I can reach and get advice from Dr. Wang gave me a great sense of assurance and confidence. Dr. Wang took the time out of her busy schedule to give me a call the night before the surgery. She answered all the questions that I had. I know for a fact that not all doctors do that. So I know from my personal experience that Dr. Wang's friendliness, kindness, and open communication really help patients as all patients tend to be intimidated by so many factors that come with any medical treatment. I was very lucky and feel fortunate to be supported by Dr. Wang.

- Y.S

Dr. Wang was exceptional from every step of the process. I evaluated probably 75-100 top docs across the U.S., mostly in nyc, LA and even Brazil. The before and after pictures were what initially drew me to Dr. Wang. The perfect combination of age refresh without looking overdone or ‘plasticky’. This was not as easy as it sounds as many of the top docs I couldn’t really tell a meaningful difference from the before and after especially in my age demographic which is mid 40’s (of course a 75 year old looks markedly different in her’s) - so what’s the point?

Of course the staff as you’ll read in the other reviews is exceptional- everyone, with every interaction, was simply lovely. And Dr. Wang herself is wonderful. Told me to actually remove items in the quote she didn’t think I needed after meeting me in person- pretty uncommon practice I think but she goes with what actually will make the person most beautiful, not what’s good for her pocket.

100% times over I’d have picked Dr. Wang and her practice if I were to do it again and I strongly recommend her for anyone who’s considering a refresh."

- J.E

I don't even live in DC, and I still make special trips just to go to West End and see Dr. Wang. She's incredibly smart and skilled, and she truly understands the anatomy of the body to get natural-looking results. She listens to what you actually want, walks you through real options, and never tries to oversell you on something you don't need. I've been a patient for several years, everything from injectables, lasers, to surgical procedures, and I trust her completely with all of it. My results are always very natural (even friends and family don't notice anything major. I always just look refreshed, and I think even better than I did in my 20s!) As a bonus, she has a wonderful personality — warm, easy to talk to, just a great person on top of being an incredible surgeon. Do not hesitate to book her for any of your surgical needs - she is truly skilled surgeon from facelift to injectables you will be thrilled with the results.

Foundations of Expertise

Innovation Backed by Experience

Born and raised in nearby Fairfax, Virginia, Dr. Wang attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology where her passion for medicine developed. She went on to complete her undergraduate education at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in three years, graduating with cum laude honors. After spending a year working in the UCSD Department of Psychiatry, where she studied the physiology of circadian rhythms, she returned to Virginia to attend the University of Virginia School of Medicine.

Following medical school, Dr. Wang entered a highly competitive 5-year Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery residency at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. During this time, she was able to develop an expertise in the complex and intricate anatomy of the head and neck region. In her final year of residency, she served as Chief Resident in her department.

After residency, Dr. Wang became one of two surgeons accepted to train at the highly prestigious American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery accredited fellowship in Beverly Hills, California, with world-renowned surgeons Dr. Paul Nassif (star of E!’s “Botched” and creator NassifMD®), Dr. Babak Azizzadeh (founder of the Facial Paralysis Institute and the Center for Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery), and Dr. Grace Lee Peng. During her tenure, Dr. Wang treated patients from all over the world, learning the nuances of challenging primary and revision facial aesthetic surgery.

While there, she also had the privilege to train with other world leaders in the aesthetic medicine and surgery field, including Dr. Guy Massry, Dr. Benjamin Talei, and Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald. This is where she added a multitude of facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries and treatments to her scope of practice, including extended deep-plane face and neck lift techniques, brow and eyelid surgeries, lip lift, primary and revision rhinoplasty, facial nerve reanimation, skin cancer and facial trauma reconstruction, hair restoration, and non-surgical aesthetic treatments (fillers, neuromodulators like Botox, laser treatments, Microneedling, etc.).

Beyond patient care, Dr. Wang cares heavily about ongoing education in the medical field, both for herself and colleagues. Her academic interests have focused on optimization of patient care and patient outcomes. She is a member of the editorial board for the Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine journal. Highlights from her scholarly record include the following publications:
