We had the good fortune of connecting with Brandyn Dunn and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brandyn, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
The idea came from a simple but powerful desire: to create the kind of practice I would want if I were the patient. I wanted to build a space where people felt genuinely cared for — not rushed, not judged, and never treated like just another appointment on the schedule.

Facial plastic surgery is an incredibly personal and often vulnerable journey. I knew I wanted to be able to guide patients through that entire process with intention, from the moment they discover us on social media to that first phone call or text, all the way through surgery and recovery. I wanted every touchpoint to reflect warmth, trust, and excellence.

At the heart of it, I built this practice to treat people like family, where they feel safe, heard, and supported as they work toward becoming the best version of themselves. That personal, full-circle approach is what drives everything we do.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At Coastline Plastic Surgery, we believe that exceptional facial care goes far beyond the procedure—it’s rooted in the relationship we build with each individual. Whether a patient is considering a facelift or simply visiting for injectables, they’re never just a number. They’re part of our practice family.

Our exclusive focus on the face and neck allows us to bring a high level of specialization, artistry, and precision to every treatment. We don’t dabble—we’re all in. From consultation to recovery, our hands-on, concierge-style approach ensures patients receive honest guidance, clear education, and personalized support long before—and long after—they step into the operating room.

Patient safety is non-negotiable. Innovation drives us. But most importantly, we earn trust one face at a time. At Coastline, every decision about your appearance is treated with the care, time, and respect it truly deserves.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend were visiting Orange County for the week, I’d craft a perfect mix of laid-back luxury, iconic spots, and hidden local gems. We’d kick things off in Newport Beach—sunset cruise from Lido Marina, dinner at Bear Flag or Nobu, and drinks at the Lido House rooftop. We’d spend a day hiking Crystal Cove, relaxing on the sand, and grabbing brunch at Zinc Café in Corona del Mar. Laguna Beach would be our artsy escape—visiting galleries or the Pageant of the Masters, followed by cocktails at The Deck. Of course, Disneyland is a must—just the highlights with a strategic game plan, then decompress with Japanese BBQ at Anjin. A visit to Pelican Hill for spa time or golf would be our luxury day, paired with shopping at Fashion Island and dinner at Javier’s. Inland, we’d explore Old Towne Orange or hike Red Rock Canyon before catching live music and steak at The Ranch. We’d close the week with paddleboarding in the harbor, strolling Balboa Island with frozen bananas, and one final brunch at Haute Cakes Caffe. Orange County is this seamless blend of beach culture, refined taste, and laid-back ambition—you can be barefoot on the sand at noon and at a five-star dinner by seven.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
So many people have played a role in shaping my journey. My residency mentors, fellowship director, and the surgeons I worked alongside in my previous practice were instrumental in helping me develop and refine my technical and surgical skill set. Their guidance, support, and high standards pushed me to grow — not just as a surgeon, but as a thoughtful and disciplined clinician.

Numerous podcasts and conferences have shaped my business mindset, but specifically, Dr. Una and Terri Ross have been instrumental. Through Dr. Una’s EntreMD platform and Terri’s expertise in practice growth and strategy, I’ve been able to build not just my clinical skill set, but a true CEO mindset — one that allows me to lead with both vision and structure.
