Proven Expertise
After graduating from the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Dr. Parkins completed a residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin. She is board certified in plastic surgery and has been practicing for more than a decade. She is an active member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.
Dr. Parkins found her way to aesthetic medicine through a summer internship, after completing her master’s degree in biomedical engineering. During this time, she worked on artificial skin substitutes for patients with burn wounds and volunteered in a burn unit. This experience made her realize that she wanted to work directly with patients, not in a lab. Burn is a part of plastic surgery and was her initial interest in medicine.
