Michael Obeng was born in a small town in Ghana in 1973 and spent his entire childhood in poverty. He relocated to the United States to attend Midwestern State University in Texas and later received his M.D. degree from the University of Texas Medical School.

In 2015, Dr. Obeng and his then-wife, Veronica, were featured on the E! reality television series "Second Wives Club." The following year, he took legal action against E! and its parent company, NBCUniversal, filing a lawsuit seeking an injunction to prevent the network from broadcasting any episodes that included him and his children.

A legal dispute arose in 2020 when Dr. Obeng and his surgery center faced legal action for posting unauthorized nude photos of a patient on social media. Despite appealing the judgment, the California Court of Appeal ordered the doctor to pay $600,000 for invasion of privacy and violation of the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act.

Dr. Obeng had been married twice before tying the knot with Veronica. However, this marriage ended in divorce as well. The surgeon has eight children, with three from Veronica. Apart from E!'s reality TV show, he was seen in TLC's "90 Day Fiancé" working as a plastic surgeon with his co-star Angela Deem.
