Breast augmentation
This procedure offers customized breast enhancement using implants or fat grafting techniques. Patients receive thorough consultations to determine optimal implant size, shape, and placement method while maintaining natural proportions. The practice specializes in both primary and revision surgeries, including correcting implant malposition or contracture. Techniques incorporate advanced approaches like preaxillary liposculpting for comprehensive body contouring.
Liposculpting
Minimally invasive fat removal and body shaping performed on various areas including abdomen, thighs, and arms. The technique combines traditional liposuction with precision sculpting to create smooth, natural contours. Drains are not required post-procedure, facilitating easier recovery while achieving significant shape improvements that lifestyle changes alone cannot accomplish.
Blepharoplasty
Comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns through upper and/or lower lid surgery. The procedure removes excess skin and fat deposits while maintaining ocular function. Often combined with other facial procedures, it creates a refreshed, youthful appearance by restoring the eyes' natural contour and reducing signs of aging or fatigue.
Botox injections
Cosmetic neurotoxin treatments smooth dynamic wrinkles and facial lines using FDA-approved products like Botox and Dysport. The practice offers personalized dosing strategies to maintain natural expressions while reducing signs of aging, with expertise in creating harmonious facial balance through strategic product placement that enhances rather than alters natural features.
Laser resurfacing
Advanced skin rejuvenation using Sciton HALO technology for non-surgical improvement of texture, tone, and elasticity. Treatments address sun damage, fine lines, and acne scarring through customizable hybrid fractional resurfacing that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. The approach balances efficacy with controlled recovery to achieve smoother, more radiant skin with minimal downtime.

Questions
What does a cosmetic surgery consultation involve?
Initial consultations include comprehensive assessment of your concerns, medical history review, and discussion of realistic outcomes. Dr. Nelson explains options with clear recommendations tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals while addressing any safety questions.
What differentiates surgical from non-surgical procedures?
Surgical options deliver more dramatic, long-lasting changes through incisions while non-surgical treatments offer gradual improvement with minimal downtime using injectables or laser technology for skin enhancement and volume restoration.
How long is recovery after common procedures?
Recovery times vary by procedure complexity but typically range from 1-4 weeks. The practice uses drainless techniques for easier recovery while maintaining optimal results through personalized postoperative care plans that prioritize safety and comfort.

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.

What? The maximum star rating is only 5?!?! I would give Dr. Nelson a 10+++. She is the consummate professional and a perfectionist in her surgical approach. That is what we all want in a Plastic Surgeon.right? I had a mid face lift and fillers by Dr. Nelson. I couldn't be more pleased with my results. Being a medical professional myself and having had previous consultations and work performed by other providers, but Dr. Nelson is in a class of her own.
Remember your choice of a cosmetic surgeon is a choice you live with for years, if not your entire life. A successful procedure will make you feel more like yourself and the confidence you gain is immeasurable. Thank you, Dr. Nelson for making this my living reality.
