Biography
There are plastic surgeons in Manhattan. There are ENT specialists in Brooklyn. And then there is Dr. Ajani Nugent — one of the very few physicians in New York City who is board certified in both.
With nearly a decade of experience since completing his training at Emory University and the University of Miami, Dr. Nugent has built a New York City practice defined by one guiding principle: subtle, safe, and dignified improvement. His dual board certification in plastic surgery and ENT gives him a structural command of facial anatomy that most plastic surgeons never develop — and pairs it with the full-body surgical expertise that has made him one of New York City's most trusted surgeons for breast and body procedures.
As Division Chief of Plastic Surgery at Wyckoff Hospital in Brooklyn, Dr. Nugent founded the hospital's microvascular surgery program, making Wyckoff one of the few centers in Brooklyn offering DIEP flap reconstruction and advanced microvascular procedures. He has performed hundreds of breast procedures at Wyckoff, including complex revision surgeries that require the highest level of technical precision. On the facial side, his Manhattan practice offers the SMAS facelift and minimally invasive Renuvion neck contouring — two of the most advanced facial rejuvenation techniques available in New York City today.
Before relocating to New York City, Dr. Nugent served on faculty at the University of Miami, where he directed the Gender Affirmation program. He has also served as a Key Opinion Leader consultant in the facial aesthetic field, providing expert guidance on emerging non-surgical technologies and helping shape industry decisions around the future of restorative facial procedures.
Dr. Nugent is a devoted husband and father. His wife is also a plastic surgeon, and together they share a passion for their craft, their family, and a love of travel with their young daughter.
"My responsibility is not only to get you to your aesthetic destination, but to ensure it's done safely." — Dr. Ajani Nugent, MD
