The CaloAesthetics fellowship program is directed by Dr. M. Bradley Calobrace, an internationally renowned surgeon and educator. He recently completed a textbook on aesthetic breast surgery (with Dr. Kortesis, Dr. Bharti, and Dr. Mays).
Under their leadership, this fellowship is focused on advancing education in aesthetic medicine, and their fellows are involved in research projects and publications designed to enrich their overall experience.
