Profile of Rafael Magana, Dr

Dr. Magana has devoted his life and passion to the art and science of plastic surgery. Committed to excellence, he completed extensive training including: Six years of medical school and thirteen years of postgraduate training in several plastic surgery subspecialties.

He began medical school at 18 years of age, during his time at university he completed the “Cellular and molecular biology course for instructors”. He volunteered to form part of the National Poliomyelitis vaccination campaign, serving thousands of people in underprivileged communities in Mexico City and Surrounding areas.

In 2011, Dr. Magana completed his residency at the Medical College of Georgia. Upon completion of the program, he was distinguished as a recipient of the Kenna Given Resident Achievement Award in Plastic Surgery, at the Medical College of Georgia.

Beyond his work as an accomplished Plastic Surgeon, as an able professional, Dr. Magana seeks to give back to his fellow men and women by conducting mission trips to remote areas of the world where underprivileged people are in need of specialized medical attention. An example of this are recent mission trips to the Philippines, where the isolated communities of Mindanao, and Tayug Pangasinan; where cases of cleft lips, and cleft palate are endemic. More complex cases such as cranial encephalocele would be completely out of reach for the patients there without surgeons like Dr. Magana to visit their villages to operate on them.

More recently he has co-authored a book chronicling his experiences throughout his education and his professional journey, his learnings, and views as a person who values human need, and human beauty. A Plastic Surgeon.
