About Me

I specialize in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, caring for patients who want to feel more confident in their bodies—whether after pregnancy, weight loss, cancer, or injury. My practice includes breast reduction, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), eyelid surgery, and reconstruction for patients affected by cancer, congenital conditions, or trauma. I was drawn to plastic surgery because it blends advanced surgical techniques with creativity. Every patient’s story and goals are unique, and I make it a priority to understand what matters most to them. I treat my patients like I would my own family—listening closely and providing compassionate care that honors each patient’s unique story and aspirations.

Clinical Focus and Research

My Research Interests

I study how advanced wound healing methods, like negative pressure therapy and tissue expansion, improve recovery after surgery. My research also explores how surgical education can better prepare future surgeons. By analyzing surgical outcomes and patient data, I aim to develop safer, more effective treatments that enhance healing and quality of life for patients choosing reconstructive and cosmetic surgery.
