Background

After years in the operating room, Lynn realized there were two things she wanted more of in her career: the opportunity to enhance wellness, and the privilege of building lasting relationships with her patients. Working alongside plastic surgeons, she saw firsthand how restoring someone's confidence could change a life, and that ultimately led her to injectables.

Aesthetic medicine brings together everything she loves: science, anatomy, artistry, compassion, and the chance to help people feel more confident in their own skin.

Highlights

  • Medical Director at Refined Aesthetics

Mentors

I certainly feel that I am standing on the shoulders of giants. I have learned firsthand from so many of them: Sarah Safa, Arthur Swift, Rana Kennelly, Tom Van Eijk, and others.

All of these mentors have demonstrated excellence in safety, approach, technique, and exacting standards. They have also shown me gratitude, team leadership, humility, humor, and compassion.
