He went on to complete a three-year plastic surgery residency at St. Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco. During this time, he studied Aesthetic and Craniofacial Surgery with Fernando Ortiz-Monastario in Mexico City and completed a fellowship in Microsurgery at the R.K. Davies Hospital in San Francisco.
Dr. Coleman studied during a revolutionary period in plastic surgery and medicine. The first year of his plastic surgery residency, liposuction and collagen were introduced to the United States. During his residency, a multitude of new reconstructive plastic surgery procedures were invented by his mentors before his very eyes at the R.K. Davies Hospital, UC San Francisco, Stanford and in Mexico. Just prior to opening his New York City practice in 1985, Dr. Coleman spent six months completing a fellowship in aesthetic surgery at the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery of the New York University Medical Center.
