Meet Dr. Amber L. Allen

Your Cosmetic Surgeon in Raleigh, NC

Dr. Amber L Allen admits she doesn’t fit the typical stereotype of a surgeon. Dr. Allen started college majoring in Fine Arts as it gave her an avenue to express her creativity; however, she soon realized she wanted to take her natural artistic talent into the medical world. After completing medical school at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences in Memphis, TN, she polished her surgical skills in the well-known general surgery program at The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. After working in private practice for over 10 years in both general and cosmetic surgery, Dr. Allen sought additional training with the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. She then worked under the guidance of renowned surgeon, Dr. Mark Mandell-Brown, whose practice in Cincinnati, OH has been voted “Best in Plastic Surgeon in Cincinnati Ohio” three years in a row. Not only is Dr. Allen a double-boarded physician in both Cosmetic and General Surgery, but she also has been a co-instructor and presenter at the annual scientific meeting of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. Upon completion of her much sought-after cosmetic surgery fellowship, Dr. Allen had assisted and performed surgery on over 600 patients. The hands-on fellowship training focused on both facial and body cosmetic procedures. Read more…
