About Me

I am the director of the Body Contouring Program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I chose to specialize in plastic surgery because I enjoy the creativity and artistic aspects involved in the practice. It’s immensely gratifying to be able to help my patients achieve their desired outcomes, using methods that are both practical and safe.

I regularly perform procedures including body contouring, abdominoplasty, breast reduction, breast lift, breast augmentation, liposuction, thighplasty, brachioplasty, and buttock augmentation with fat grafting. I also have expertise in lipedema surgery. My research is focused on developing innovative techniques to continuously improve body contouring procedures and patient outcomes.

After several years in private practice, I chose to switch to an academic health center because I was excited about the opportunity to teach the future generation of doctors. It’s a privilege to help guide medical students and residents in the art of plastic surgery.

Ohio State is a dynamic institution filled with opportunities and I’m proud to be here. Our medical teams have access to a wide array of experts, educational support and cutting-edge technologies. The exceptional resources and commitment to excellence embodied by everyone here at Ohio State translates to improved patient care.

In my free time, I enjoy painting, hiking and biking.
