Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Armando Soto was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. His father was a respected general surgeon in the West Texas community and his mother was a nurse prior to "retiring" to raise her five children. His parents were a great inspiration to him and always encouraged him to pursue higher education. After graduating from Texas A&M University with honors and a degree in Microbiology, Dr. Soto was accepted to The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. While studying there, he was inspired by the work of the surgeons in the Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and made the decision to pursue Plastic Surgery Training. After completing his education, Dr. Soto decided to bring his expertise to Central Florida in 2006, and since arriving in Orlando, he has made a name for himself as an extremely ethical, creative, skilled, and compassionate surgeon. In late 2007, Dr. Soto opened Aesthetic Enhancements Plastic Surgery, a state-of-the-art skincare, laser and surgical facility in the Doctor Phillips neighborhood of Orlando.
