Services
Abdominoplasty
Our drainless tummy tuck procedure reshapes the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while repairing separated muscles. Ideal for patients seeking a flatter, more toned midsection after weight loss or pregnancy. The surgery combines liposculpting and monsplasty for comprehensive contouring, ensuring natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
Breast Augmentation
Enhance breast size and shape with implants or fat grafting, tailored to your body goals. Options include silicone or saline implants, preaxillary liposculpting, and constricted breast correction. We prioritize symmetry, proportion, and a natural feel, ensuring results that align with your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
Blepharoplasty
Revitalize tired eyes by removing excess skin and fat from upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure addresses sagging, puffiness, and under-eye bags, creating a refreshed, youthful appearance. It can be combined with fat grafting for added volume and a smoother transition between facial features.
Botox Injections
Smooth dynamic wrinkles with FDA-approved neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport. Targeting forehead lines, crows feet, and frown lines, these injections temporarily relax muscles to soften expression-related wrinkles. Results appear within days and last up to four months, with minimal downtime.
Laser Resurfacing
Improve skin texture, tone, and clarity with Sciton HALO and BBL treatments. These hybrid laser technologies address acne scars, sun damage, and aging signs by stimulating collagen production. Customizable settings ensure safe, effective results for all skin types, with options for ablative or non-ablative rejuvenation.

Dr. Nelson and her staff at Northwest Cosmetic Surgery are not only the friendliest group of individuals I have met, but highly qualified to do what they do. I walked into their office after having interviewed two surgeons previously. This was the perfect fit! I was referred by a friend, and I am grateful she shared her experience with me. From the moment I walked into NWCS I felt comfortable, welcomed, and like I was part of the family.
Every question was answered with detail, nothing was left to the imagination. I knew exactly what was going to take place on surgery day, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. Dr. Nelson is quite a talented surgeon. I never thought I would have the body I have now. Thanks to her skills, I now have the body I thought I could only attain in my dreams. After having 3 cesarean sections, I was not able to get rid of the lose skin that was left, no matter what I did, it wasn't enough. Dr. Nelson has helped me love my body again.
I no longer look in the mirror and see every flaw, I look in the mirror and see beauty. Thank you doesn't seem like enough for the joy and gratitude I have for this team of incredibly talented professionals.

Dr Nelson is an exceptional surgeon and artist. She discusses all aspects of your procedure clearly, and in an empathetic manner that is rare in cosmetic surgery. She is supported by a warm and efficient staff who are so easy to contact (again rare!) From my first phone call onward, this was the best experience imaginable. Please connect Dr Nelson first when considering your procedure.

I had a breast reduction done with Amanda over three years ago and was a life changing experience for me. Breast reductions are a truly vulnerable process and Amanda takes the time to make you feel safe and talks you through any concerns you may have before and after the procedure. I felt that Amanda encouraged me to see my body in a more loving way throughout the whole process and her work ultimately led to me having a healthier life

I had breast cancer and a double mastectomy in Jan. 2020 and cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Nelson who did my reconstruction surgeries. She is a gifted surgeon and she even amazed my general surgeon on the newest techniques she uses. Dr. Nelson also put my mind at ease the minute I went in for a consult. She is not only a gifted surgeon, up on all the latest techniques, but is the most humble, kind person you will ever meet.
She treats you like family and that's rare, esp. as a plastic surgeon. Bend is very blessed to have her and I am beyond grateful for her getting me through a very difficult and scary time. Her office staff is also wonderful and kind. You won't be in better hands or find a better place for care than NW Cosmetic Surgery. If I could give her 10 stars I would.
