About Radiance

Dr. Cang “Carson” Huynh was born and raised in Vietnam until age 9.  Due to stricken poverty and lack of socioeconomic opportunities, Dr. Huynh  and his father left the country by boat in 1986.  Their boat was stranded at sea for seven days before they were rescued and taken to a refugee camp in Malaysia and the Philippines.  He eventually settled in the Atlanta area where he received his primary and secondary education.

Following his Medical Degree from Emory University School of Medicine and his Dental Medical Degree from the college of Georgia, he completed a year of General Surgery residency with the Emory University Department of Surgery, working with specialists in disciplines of Trauma/Surgical Critical Care, General Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Head and Neck Surgery, and Plastic Surgery.  He then developed a more focused interest in the complex anatomy and functions of the face.  He went on to complete a 6 year residency program in maxillofacial surgery at Emory. During this time, he received intensive training in surgical reconstruction of traumatic injuries and treatment of congenital and development disorders of the face, head, and neck. He was awarded the Robert A. Bays Achievement Award for achieving the highest exam score.

After completing his surgical training at Emory as a chief resident, Dr. Huynh was selected for a highly sought-after Facial Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship under the tutelage of Dr. T. William Evans, a renowned facial cosmetic surgeon. Fellowship training is the highest level of formal education achievable by a physician and is considered the gold standard in surgical education attainable in any given field.  Dr. Huynh was chosen among more than 40 candidates from around the world for this prestigious position. He then further honed his surgical craft through operating with highly skilled plastic and cosmetic surgeons in New York City and Beverly Hills prior to building his private practice in, Radiance Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine in Atlanta.  Dr. Huynh devoted a total of 15 years toward higher education, medical school, and surgical training.  He is one of few surgeons in the country who hold dual-doctorate degrees in both highly specialized fields of maxillofacial and facial plastic surgery. Dr. Huynh routinely attends several continuing education meetings each year to offer the cutting edge advances in aesthetic medicine to his patients.
