BOARD-ELIGIBLE PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGEON
Dr. Jourdan Carboy, MD
Dr. Jourdan Carboy is a board-eligible plastic and reconstructive surgeon known for her refined aesthetic sensibility, surgical precision, and deeply individualized approach to patient care. Trained at two of the country’s most respected academic medical centers, she brings a rigorous scientific foundation and a genuine artistic vision to every procedure — a combination that is, in the truest sense, rare.
Education & Training
Dr. Carboy earned her medical degree from UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas — consistently ranked among the top medical schools in the nation and home to one of the most competitive surgical training programs in the country.
She went on to complete a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, graduating in 2024. OHSU’s plastic surgery program is among the most comprehensive in the Pacific Northwest, offering trainees broad exposure across cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, microsurgery, craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, and gender-affirming care.
Dr. Carboy completed her training with experience spanning the full scope of the specialty.
A Surgeon With an Artist's Eye
What sets Dr. Carboy apart is a background that no residency program can teach. Before and during her medical training, she developed a parallel career as a published medical illustrator — a discipline that demands an unusually precise understanding of human anatomy, proportion, and three-dimensional form. Her illustration portfolio, available at IllustrationMD.com, reflects the same meticulous attention to detail that defines her surgical work.
This foundation in visual art is not incidental to her practice — it is central to it. Where many surgeons think in terms of technique, Dr. Carboy thinks simultaneously in terms of technique and outcome, approaching each case the way a sculptor approaches a commission: with a clear sense of the finished result before the first incision is made.
Areas of Expertise
Comprehensive care. Specialized mastery. Results that feel like you.
Facial Surgery
Dr. Carboy’s passion is facial surgery, a discipline requiring precision and artistry. Facial anatomy is complex, where small decisions carry significant impact. Her expertise spans facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, brow lift, lip lift, facial fat grafting, and skin resurfacing.
She also specializes in facial feminization, craniofacial, and post-Mohs reconstruction, combining technical mastery with an understanding of how structural changes affect overall facial identity.
Body Contouring
In addition to facial surgery, Dr. Carboy offers a full range of body contouring procedures, including breast augmentation, mastopexy, breast reduction, abdominoplasty, Brazilian butt lift, arm and thigh lifts, and circumferential body lifts. Her philosophy is consistent across face and body: enhancing natural beauty rather than transforming it.
Her approach focuses on achieving results that feel authentic to each patient’s unique anatomy, helping them see the best version of themselves.
Breast Surgery
Dr. Carboy specializes in advanced breast procedures, including augmentation, lift, and reduction, tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Her approach focuses on achieving balanced, natural-looking results that enhance confidence.
Every procedure is carefully planned to ensure safety, symmetry, and long-lasting outcomes, helping patients feel empowered and satisfied with their transformation.
Research & Academic Contributions
Dr. Carboy is a published researcher with work featured in leading journals, including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Seminars in Plastic Surgery. Her research covers topics like rhinoplasty, brow rejuvenation, facial reconstruction, gender-affirming surgery, and microsurgical techniques, reflecting the breadth of her clinical expertise.
She is also a contributing author to two books: Facial Reconstruction After Mohs Surgery and Integrated Procedures in Facial Cosmetic Surgery, where she discussed new trends in forehead and brow lifts. Dr. Carboy’s academic work showcases her dedication to both patient outcomes and advancing the field of plastic surgery.
Her Approach to Patient Care
Dr. Carboy believes exceptional surgical results begin with a thoughtful consultation. She dedicates time to understanding each patient’s goals, studying their anatomy with precision, and collaborating on a tailored surgical plan. Rather than applying a single aesthetic ideal, she enhances what is already present, ensuring the approach is both technically sound and aesthetically harmonious.
Her communication style is candid and warm. She prioritizes honest, thorough discussions, ensuring patients are fully informed to make the best decisions. Dr. Carboy takes pride in setting realistic expectations, offering clear insight into what surgery can and cannot achieve, and focusing on genuine outcomes rather than simply reassuring her patients.
Life in Bend
Dr. Carboy lives in Bend with her husband, their son River, and their three dogs. She is an avid rock climber and backcountry snowboarder, and she takes full advantage of the remarkable outdoor landscape that first drew her to Central
Oregon.
In quieter moments, she can often be found at her sewing machine, designing and constructing her own athletic wear — a hobby that speaks, perhaps more than anything else, to the kind of person she is: someone who would rather make something well than settle for something adequate.
