This content was provided by Dr. Brown "I am a board certified plastic surgeon practicing in Henderson and Las Vegas, Nevada since 2000. My focus and specialization is plastic and cosmetic surgery of the face and body. I grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona in a family of doctors. From a young age, I always knew I wanted to be a doctor. I loved science, math, and solving problems. I also have a very artistic and creative side. Art has always been a passion for me, using my hands to create something beautiful. I am always engaged in art projects, both sculpture and wall art. Plastic surgery is the only surgical specialty that combines art and science, so it was a natural career choice for me I received my undergraduate degree in Bioengineering at the University of California, San Diego. Bioengineering combines science with problem solving, and I loved the fact that it is "hands on" with elements of design and creativity. I also studied art and spent time in the art studios while at UCSD. I obtained my MD degree at the University of Texas in Houston in 1994. Next I completed a general surgery residency in Phoenix, Arizona followed by a plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. I had years of training working in the hospital setting, operating all day on the entire human face and body, while taking care of patients as I worked in trauma centers, ICUs, burn units, and emergency rooms. As a result I have the experience, technical skills and judgment required to manage simple to complex cases while ensuring patient safety. I settled in Henderson, Nevada because of the need for a plastic surgeon in this community. St. Rose Siena hospital was just built and they needed me. I worked both inpatient and outpatient, servicing the hospital and emergency room at St. Rose campuses, managing complex reconstructive cases, while simultaneously building my cosmetic surgery practice. Early on, my practice shifted from a mix of reconstructive work and cosmetic work to purely cosmetic surgery, as I am passionate about it. My cosmetic surgery patient base has grown not only locally, but also nationally and internationally. As a mother of 4 children, I can relate to my patients after dealing with my own face and body changes from aging, weight changes, and pregnancy. I understand surgical goals, what a person finds attractive, and how clothes fit. I understand the balance and proportion of the face and body, what makes a person beautiful, and how important it is to maintain naturalness. I genuinely care about each and every patient I take care of. Of course, I love operating. But the best part of my work is seeing the joy it gives to people; when they experience boosts in self-esteem, their happiness and inner beauty shines through, and their personal and professional life is made better.
