From 2006 to 2009, he completed his residency training in Aesthetic Surgery at the National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology – one of the leading specialized training institutions in this field.

Dr. Nguyen Minh Hien focuses on performing maxillofacial surgeries with a natural aesthetic orientation, tailored to each individual facial structure.
In addition to clinical practice, he actively participates in scientific research and professional training. He is a co-author of the study “Effectiveness of bioresorbable plates and screws in the fixation of lateral orbital rim fractures for zygomatic complex fracture treatment,” published on the scientific portal of the Department of Science and Technology of Can Tho City.

In clinical practice, he develops aesthetic strategies based on the integration of anatomical structure and individual characteristics of each patient. Prior to any intervention, patients are thoroughly evaluated in terms of facial proportions, skeletal framework, and unique features to determine appropriate treatment plans.
Rather than completely altering one’s appearance, he prioritizes selective adjustments to address disharmonious features, preserving individual identity while achieving overall balance. As a result, outcomes are both natural-looking and long-lasting.
