“I love the staff at Y Plastic Surgery! Everyone is like family, and that’s how our patients get treated as well. It is so uplifting and exciting to walk through the entire experience with our patients and see their end results, many of which are life-changing. The added confidence that I see in our cosmetic patients is extremely rewarding.” —Rebecka

Speaking of family, Rebecka was raised on a lake in Minnesota with 6 brothers! That’s why she enjoys being outside as much as possible in her spare time, especially hiking the Georgia trails. When she’s not outside or at work, chances are you’ll find her reading.
