Johanna D'Agostino, M.D., FACS
Plastic Surgery
Twenty years ago, Johanna D’Agostino, M.D., FACS, came to the United States from Bogotá, Colombia. Her dream was to get a college education and become a doctor. Learning English was her first of many challenges, but she found out early on that hard work and dedication would pay off. She worked her way through college, taking any opportunity offered to her.
“No job is too small,” she says. “Every opportunity gives you a skill that you will use at some point.”
Dr. D’Agostino remained focused on her ultimate goal and never let adversity or unfavorable comments discourage her.
Today, Dr. D’Agostino is a double board-certified plastic surgeon at 5th Avenue Plastic Surgery in Delray Beach (instagram.com/jdagostinomd). She is passionate about breast reconstruction and cosmetic surgery. She focuses on body procedures and performs all types of breast enhancement surgery, body contouring surgery and noninvasive facial rejuvenation. “I’m a body designer.”
Her patients are diverse. “One reason I love plastic surgery is the variety of my patient population.”
She has both male and female patients from Palm Beach County to across the country ranging in age from 20s to 70s.
“Safety is my priority, and my goal is to enhance my patient’s natural beauty.”
She aims to establish an honest connection with her patients. “Being a female, I can identify closely with my female patients,” she says of her field that is dominated by men. “I understand them, and they feel comfortable with me.”
Her philosophy has paid off. Patients often send her “selfies,” enjoying their enhanced beauty and finally wearing their dream bathing suit or sleeveless dress. “I love giving them back that confidence.”
She received her undergraduate degree at Florida Atlantic University and her medical degree at Ross University School of Medicine.
She completed her training in general surgery and plastic surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group and Stony Brook University.
