Dr. Natalie Ngan was born and educated in New Zealand. She graduated with a degree in medicine from the University of Auckland, New Zealand in 2000. She developed a passion for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and her advanced Plastic Surgery training was spent in Wellington and Auckland.

In January 2011, Natalie and her family moved to Toronto, Canada for a one year Breast Reconstruction Fellowship. This highly sought-after position at the University of Toronto was spent working with world experts within the field of breast reconstruction: Dr. John Semple, Dr. Mitchell Brown, Dr. Toni Zhong and Dr. Stefan Hofer.
