Kristina J. Tarbet, MD

“The most important thing about my job is the trust and the care that people place in you. My purpose is to take care of patients, help them safely achieve their goals. I’m not just treating a face I’m treating a person.”

As the leading provider of the Quicklift® facelift procedure in Seattle, Dr. Tarbet has over 10 years of experience in facial cosmetic surgery.
Her extensive study of the field has provided her with the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s most respected leaders in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and anti-aging technologies.

Dr. Tarbet has written in over 20 publications of prominent medical journals and surgical textbook chapters, and conducted over 60 presentations at national and international meetings.

She has instructed physicians on a national level and is currently a clinical professor at the University of Washington, assisting in the fellowship program in oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Well-known for her careful listening of her patient’s concerns and needs, she offers only the highest level of care and successful results.
Specializing on the face with a focus on eyelids, Dr. Tarbet is able to provide the most up-to-date and effective surgical and non-surgical facelift techniques for reconstructive and cosmetic facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Tarbet has received several awards, including Most Innovative Cosmetic Technique and the Richard C. Webster Award from the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.
