Dr. Tuan Tran, MD, MBA, FACS

Although I was raised in Sacramento, California, I have traveled extensively to bring the worldly perspective to my practice. I left Fresno, California to attend the University of California Berkeley, where I double majored in science and humanitarian studies. Since then, I have moved around the country and explored the world. Following the footsteps of my mother, who has been practicing family medicine, I attended medical school at Tufts University in Boston and earned MD and MBA degrees. I completed my General Surgery residency at Loma Linda University Medical Center. During my residency, my interest for reconstructive surgery grew immensely when I assisted in head and neck, trunk and breast reconstruction after big oncologic extirpation. Following my interest, I trained at the University of Miami’s Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery program. As I approached the end of my training, I developed an interest in being a well-rounded and complete surgeon, one who can treat and manage peripheral nerves, bone and joint diseases in addition to internal organs and soft tissues. Therefore, I pursued a hand fellowship at the University of California, Davis.

During my training at Loma Linda University, I came to fall in love with Orange County and made it my goal to return to the OC and practice here for the rest of my life. Therefore, I relocated here in 2017 and hanged my own shingle by starting Tran Plastic Surgery. At Tran Plastic Surgery, we excel at a wide array of surgical procedures ranging from face lift, eyelid surgeries, rhinoplasty, craniofacial surgeries, facial rejuvenation, breast surgeries, body contouring, gender assignment surgeries to hand and upper extremities surgeries and many more.

I have created the General Reconstructive Aesthetic Plastic and Hand Surgery Incorporated institution (GRAPH Surgery Inc) for the sole purpose of delivering comprehensive care to my patients.

In September 2024, Tran Plastic Surgery moved to a new office at 20951 Brookhurst St, Suite 107, Huntington Beach, CA with the intention of expanding to better serve our patients with new procedures and equipment.
