About Us

“My subspecialty focus provides me with a detailed knowledge of the facial region and allows me to concentrate my skills on the most current, safest, and effective techniques in ophthalmic facial plastic cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.” — Dr. Tarbet

Specialized Oculofacial Expertise. Natural Results. Trusted Experience.

kristin tarbet practice office

At Kristin Tarbet Facial Plastic Surgery, we specialize in oculofacial plastic surgery, reconstructive eyelid surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, and non-surgical facial rejuvenation — a highly specialized field focused exclusively on the eyelids, orbit, and face. Our practice combines advanced surgical precision, functional restoration, and aesthetic artistry to help patients achieve natural results that enhance both appearance and quality of life.

As a practice dedicated to both medical and cosmetic oculofacial care, we treat patients seeking improvement in facial appearance as well as those experiencing functional eyelid and orbital concerns that affect comfort, vision, and daily life.

The eyes are often the first feature people notice and the center of human connection. Because of this, even subtle changes around the eyes and face can have a profound impact on expression, confidence, comfort, and vision. Our goal is to provide results that feel balanced, refined, and uniquely suited to each patient.

With more than 30 years of focused surgical experience, Kristin Tarbet has devoted her career to caring for patients seeking cosmetic eyelid surgery, reconstructive facial surgery, and medically necessary oculoplastic treatment. Every treatment plan begins with understanding each patient’s anatomy, goals, symptoms, and concerns — allowing for highly individualized recommendations grounded in experience, safety, and precision.

Our services include:

  • Oculofacial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: ptosis repair, eyelid reconstruction, lacrimal surgery, orbital surgery, Graves’ disease treatment, blepharospasm management, facial lesion removal, skin cancer reconstruction, and functional eyelid procedures that may qualify for insurance coverage
  • Cosmetic Facial Surgery: upper and lower eyelid surgery, brow lift surgery, facial rejuvenation, and procedures designed to restore a natural, refreshed appearance
  • Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation: Botox, wrinkle treatment, and minimally invasive options for patients seeking facial enhancement without surgery

We care for patients seeking subtle cosmetic refinement as well as those experiencing drooping eyelids, visual obstruction, tearing, eyelid heaviness, irritation, facial asymmetry, or eyelid changes caused by medical conditions. Many reconstructive and functional procedures may qualify for insurance coverage when medically indicated, and our team helps guide patients through that process.

Because facial surgery cannot be hidden, every detail matters. Dr. Tarbet’s philosophy is centered on achieving results that never appear overdone — only rested, refreshed, and naturally harmonious.

Patients frequently share that friends, family, and colleagues notice they look brighter, younger, or simply well-rested without recognizing that a procedure was performed. That subtle transformation is the hallmark of carefully planned oculofacial and facial plastic surgery.

At our practice, medical expertise and aesthetic judgment work together. Through advanced techniques, current research, and personalized care, we help patients achieve outcomes that support both function and confidence.

From consultation through recovery, our professional team is committed to delivering an elevated experience built on compassion, education, and surgical excellence.

We invite you to experience a practice where specialized oculofacial surgery, cosmetic facial rejuvenation, reconstructive care, and non-surgical treatment come together to help you look and feel your best.
