Prior to medical school, Dr. Lombardo had always been involved in music, theater and the arts. Her educational background began with a degree in Art from DePaul University in Chicago, IL followed by attending the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, IL. She continued her education at the University of Illinois at Chicago to obtain a minor in Chemistry to fulfill the requirements for attending medical school.

As a result, she chose to pursue a residency in General Surgery followed by a fellowship in Cosmetic Surgery. The Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship training covered all areas including: facial surgery, body and breast surgery, post-bariatric (weight loss) surgery and non-surgical treatments.
Today Dr. Lombardo is a successful Board-Certified General Surgeon and a Cosmetic Surgeon.

As of 2017, Dr. Lombardo has become President of the California Academy of Cosmetic Surgery to further establish herself as an industry leader.
