Face
Biography
After completing one of the most competitive Plastic Surgery residencies in the country at University of Washington, I spent a full year in Craniofacial Surgery fellowship at UCLA. I then joined the Optum Plastic Surgery team in Seattle and offer my highly specialized skills in aesthetic plastic surgery of the face, with a focus on rhinoplasty and facial feminization surgery.
My passion is rhinoplasty (nose surgery). This is the most difficult surgery in all of Plastic Surgery to do well. I utilize different modern rhinoplasty techniques such as dorsal preservation and polygon tip surgery, as well as the cutting-edge technology including piezosurgery (using ultrasonic saws to sculpt and precisely cut the nasal bones) to create a customized nose to best suit your face and maximize your ability to breathe.
Especially exciting for me is the opportunity to support the transgender community by offering facial feminization surgery (FFS). FFS is a highly complex group of procedures that involves cutting and sculpting the bones of the forehead and jaw, molding the cartilages of the nose and neck, and refining the overlying soft tissues to completely transform a masculine face into an unmistakably feminine one.
For facial rejuvenation, I analyze your entire face and offer a comprehensive surgery plan to address all of your facial structures that changed with age. I incorporate my craniofacial surgery expertise by offering soft tissue surgery (facelift, necklift, browlift, eyelid lift), facial fat grafting, and sometimes bone alterations (jaw surgery, chin surgery, and custom facial implants) for a natural-looking youthful result.
