I am thankful to be part of a team where everyone is incredibly kind and intelligent. When I’m not in the office, you can find me in my kitchen baking all sorts of sweet treats or on the couch watching the latest Marvel movie. With over 10 years of experience in customer service, I have always felt passionate in helping others. After graduating from the University of Arizona with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, I gained over 3 years of experience working in dermatology. Throughout my experience in providing patient care, I realized how impactful it is to a person’s life when they become more confident in their skin. I am so grateful to be able to work for two of the best surgeons in Arizona and continue to help people look and feel their best. For those patients requiring or preferring a hospital setting, Dr. Sandeen is an active staff member at Northwest Medical Center and Oro Valley Hospital. These facilities are fully accredited and anesthesia is administered only by board certified anesthesiologists. Dr. Sandeen is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is currently the Section Head for Plastic Surgery at Northwest Medical Center and Oro Valley Hospital. Should you undergo a facelift, brow lift, or neck lift surgery, you will be given general anesthesia. People sometimes have a headache and feel congested, with discomfort rated fairly low on the pain scale. Dr. Olson provides his patients with post-op guidelines to follow that will help ensure a smooth recovery and great results. He will provide patient-comfort tips to relieve the discomfort you may experience following surgery. This causes the overlying skin to form a grooved line that is visible even when your face is relaxed. Dysport, in particular, was specially created to address the vertical lines between the eyebrows known as frown lines while Xeomin is equally effective for the overall face. Depending on which sutures are used, they will either dissolve or need to be removed after one week. Incision lines are concealed along the hairline and the natural contours of the ear or under the chin. You may experience numbness and tightness in the face and neck area, but this is typically temporary. It can take as long as six months for scars to fade, but the incisions are typically located in the areas in which they will be unlikely to show even in underwear or a bathing suit, such as the crease below the breast. If you have a history of problems with scarring, be sure to discuss this with Dr. Larson in advance of the surgery. Most patients feel ready to return to work 10 to 14 days after surgery. At this point, patients can resume light cardio as directed by Dr. Olson. Dr. Olson will evaluate your facial shape and bone structure as well as the degree of excess fat, skin, and sagging muscle to determine the best approach for treatment. The short scar technique is more limited in the degree of rejuvenation compared to a full deep plane lift. Dr. Kim is a fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. Dr. Kim has been on the faculty and staff of several universities and Level-1 trauma centers, providing specialized surgical care and training for residents and medical students. Once he has made these incisions, Dr. Olson adjusts the tissues beneath your skin, moving them upwards and repositioning them to sit higher. He also cuts away excess skin and tightens the remaining skin for a smooth profile and improved definition. Before closing the incisions, Dr. Olson examines your face for symmetry and adherence to your desired outcome. When he is satisfied with the results, he closes the incisions with sutures. Dr. Patricia Navarrette Mars has been a practicing plastic surgeon for over 13 years already. She is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons with board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery as well. If enough breast tissue is present to camouflage your implants, Dr. Larson can simply place them beneath the chest muscle after the cancerous tissue has been removed. In this case, you will only need one surgery – which is a substantial perk for many of our Tucson clients.
