Dr. Aghayan is proud to have served as a general medical officer in the United States Navy after his time in medical school. He worked as an assistant battalion surgeon in Iraq and then a battalion surgeon in Afghanistan. During his time in the Navy, Dr. Aghayan earned the Navy Commendation Medal, Navy Achievement Medal, and a Combat Action Ribbon. His training and experience in the military have helped him understand the importance of reconstructive and plastic surgery in repairing not only the physical function of the body but also restoring the confidence of wounded soldiers.

While Dr. Aghayan also offers many nonsurgical procedures that can be performed in his office, he performs plastic surgery requiring general anesthesia in the safety of accredited hospitals and surgical facilities. For his patients’ convenience, he has full medical privileges at multiple locations in the Portland area — Pearl Surgicenter, and Providence St. Vincent Medical Center.
