Dr. Dugar grew up in Beaumont, Texas where he learned small town values of trust and integrity at a young age from his parents and older siblings. He graduated Valedictorian of his high school class of 525 students, earned the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout (which less than 2% of Boy Scouts of America earn), and was awarded the prestigious National Merit Scholar award based on his academic achievements. This is all by the age of 17. Dr. Dugar was then competitively selected into the accelerated 7-year B.A./M.D. combined medical program at The George Washington University. During his time in D.C. Dr. Dugar traveled the globe learning from countless Plastic Surgery mentors who helped guide his career into what it has become today, including legends such as Dr. Raj Kanodia, Dr. Sherrel Aston, Dr. Norman Pastorek, Dr. Eugene Tardy, Dr. Bruce Feldman, and Dr. Jean Louis Sebagh. During medical school, Dr. Dugar was in the top 2% of his class for many subjects including Biochemistry, Immunology, and Physiology. Dr. Dugar was then accepted into a highly competitive top 10 surgical training program at The University of North Carolina where he completed his Head and Neck and Facial Plastic Surgery training. During his time at UNC, Dr. Dugar was awarded the “Best Plastic Surgery Intern of the Year” award by the Department of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Dugar’s surgical skills and talent were also featured on UNC’s series “Real Doctors, Real People” which was awarded four bronze Telly Awards in the categories of Best Video, Best Program, Best Videography, and Best Health and Fitness video. After graduating from his Facial Plastic Surgery training, having performed over 5,000 surgical cases, Dr. Dugar became Board Certified and was accepted as the final legacy fellow of Dr. Raj Kanodia’s Advanced Closed Rhinoplasty Fellowship. Here, he learned the art behind the science of Scarless Noses directly from the master himself, Dr. Raj Kanodia, arguably the world’s most famous and masterful Scarless Nose surgeon to ever practice. Dr. Dugar deeply believes in his choice for super-specialization in scarless noses to create an atmosphere of total mastery at the Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Center™.
