Dr. Aimé had the distinguished honor of being the first applicant accepted into this program.

Dr. Aimé completed six years of plastic surgery residency with extensive training in all aspects of the field, including general reconstruction, microsurgery, craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, peripheral nerve surgery and aesthetic surgery. During this time, she developed a passion for aesthetic plastic surgery and chose to focus her career on this. Following residency, she pursued additional specialized fellowship training in aesthetic plastic surgery in Texas, where she gained focused experience with aesthetic surgical and non-surgical procedures under the direction of renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Luis Rios.

Dr. Aimé has authored and co-authored a number of manuscripts and medical book chapters on topics such as patient safety, facial trauma, wound healing, hand surgery, breast implants, chest wall deformities, and bone infections. She has also presented locally, regionally, and nationally on these topics. She is also an editorial reviewer for the Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ) and the Plastic and Reconstructive Global Open (PRS GO) medical journals. Dr. Aimé maintains active memberships in several professional associations and societies. She is an advocate for physician unity, patient safety and education, research and innovation, and mentorship of the next generation of physicians.
