Fellowship
Throughout his medical career, Dr. Mandell-Brown has been dedicated to teaching. The Mandell-Brown Plastic Surgery Center offers a one year accredited cosmetic fellowship as part of the Academy’s fellowship training. Dr. Mark Mandell-Brown has been selected by the Board of Trustees to serve as Chairman, of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship program.
There are two fellowship positions, one beginning in July and the second starting in January. These one year fellowships are staggered so that there is a senior and a junior fellow. Cosmetic Surgeons throughout the country interview for these two highly desired positions.
“It is important to educate and train the next generation of plastic and cosmetic surgeons. I had the benefit of learning from the top plastic surgeons in the country and so it is important to continue the tradition of passing on knowledge.”
The Fellows receive comprehensive education in facial plastic and body cosmetic procedures. They also learn the artistic use of soft tissue fillers like Perlane, Sculptra, and Radiesse as well as Botox, and skin resurfacing as well as non surgical fat reduction and skin tightening with the Venus Legacy.
