If you’ve met our new Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Agnes Wong, you already know she brings a bright, positive energy to every patient interaction. She loves the upbeat environment at our San Francisco Plastic Surgery practice and the shared commitment to always putting the patient first. It’s what makes being part of Dr. Karen Horton’s team so rewarding for her.

Agnes’ path to aesthetics began years ago in a college biofilm lab—an experience that sparked her love for science. Today, she feels her role blends her interests in research, aesthetics, and wellness perfectly. (Though she jokes that her first instinct was “post office worker,” she’s very happy she chose this field!)

When it comes to aesthetic treatments, her favorite procedure to participate in is full facial balancing, where artistry and anatomy come together to create natural-looking results. Her favorite non-surgical treatment to get herself is Clear + Brilliant for its low-downtime glow, and her go-to skincare pick is SkinBetter AlphaRet.

When patients ask for her advice, Agnes keeps it simple: do your research, choose a Board-Certified Nurse Injector for your non-surgical needs, and ask patients about their past experiences. And if you’re wondering what procedure she wouldn’t recommend, she’s honest about threads—noting that they’re painful, traumatic to the tissue, and don’t offer lasting benefits. In her opinion, if you want meaningful change, it’s better to go the surgical route with a skilled Plastic Surgeon.

Agnes is a vital part of our team, bringing scientific curiosity, aesthetic passion, and genuine care to every day at the office.
