Hollywood Prestigious Awards To Honour Dr. Michael K. Obeng As ‘International Man of the Year’

Harvard-trained Ghanaian American Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael K. Obeng, will be honoured at this year’s Hollywood & African Prestigious Awards (HAPAwards) as the ‘International Man of the Year’.

According to organizers of HAPAwards, the scheme is inviting the renowned plastic surgeon to be bestowed upon the ‘International Man of the Year’ award for the 2021 HAPAwards due to his outstanding and extraordinary accomplishment in his field of work and contributions to mankind.

“HAPAwards is designed to bridge the cultural gap between Africa and the global community while giving back through the arts with the I Dream 4 All Foundation. The ‘Awards’ helps promote creativity, spotlights rich African heritage, exhibits unique talents and honours outstanding individuals across the films, music, comedy, fashion and social media industries.”

Dr. Obeng is one of the most sought-after surgeons in the world. Throughout his two-decade career, and as the director of MiKO Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, he has performed makeovers for Hollywood elite, supermodels, musicians and royalty, and more importantly, he has put smiles on the faces of some of the world’s most needy through his non-profit R.E.S.T.O.R.E. Worldwide, Inc.; The Foundation for Reconstructive Surgery. He specializes in cosmetic surgery of the aging face, breast & body, Brazilian butt lift, rib removal, and forehead reduction to mention a few. His passion has always been complex reconstruction, and surgeries other surgeons deem impossible, hence the nickname, “The Surgeon‘s Surgeon”.

Dr. Obeng’s service to humanity has earned him several humanitarian awards including, The Amanfoo Goodness & Excellence Award (2021), Ebony Magazine 75t^Edition Power 100 Honoree (2020), GUBA Humanitarian Spirit Award (2017), NAACP Humanitarian Award (2013) and the list goes on. In addition, he has been commended by the City of Beverly Hills and the County of Los Angeles for his “dedication to improving and bettering the lives of individuals around the world using his medical expertise”. “None of these accolades would have been possible without the selfless volunteers over the years and the patients who trusted us with their lives, not to mention the Almighty God”, says Dr. Obeng.

Outside of his work in Beverly Hills, Dr. Obeng finds ways to make a difference in the world. He is the founder of R.E.S.T.O.R.E. Worldwide inc.; The Foundation for Reconstructive Surgery. R.E.S.T.O.R.E. is an acronym that stands for Restoring Emotional Stability Throughout Outstanding Reconstructive Efforts. R.E.S.T.O.R.E. provides free reconstructive surgery to
patients in developing countries. The organization has performed over 1,500 free surgeries since its inception in 2017, in three different continents, to a tune in excess of over 575 million USD.
