New York City, New York Sep 14, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - A board-certified Otolaryngologist specializing in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Pafford is in practice at Colorado Eye Consultants. She joins the team as a decorated combat veteran who served eight years in the United States Air Force where she rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel.
Guided by a passion for helping others, she established a Head and Neck Cancer Awareness initiative at both Wright Patterson Air Force Base and Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. She also served as the Chief of Facial Trauma while on deployment in Afghanistan and served overseas for half of her military career.
Dr. Pafford received her medical degree from New York Medical College, before completing her residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at New York University School of Medicine, where she served as Chief Resident. Following her training and time as a military surgeon, she was selected for a highly competitive fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in New York City. Training under world-renowned leaders in her field, she was able to further hone her surgical expertise in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face and neck, minimally invasive endoscopic facial rejuvenation, facial paralysis, and vascular malformations of the head and neck.
Her extensive training and unique background have helped her to establish a reputation as a skillful surgeon who utilizes the latest and most innovative techniques to obtain exceptional, natural-looking results. This approach, along with a compassionate bedside manner and dedication to helping others, has led Dr. Pafford to help her patients achieve their functional and cosmetic goals through both surgical and non-surgical procedures.
“Your face is the first thing, anyone, notices during social interactions. Patients want it to reflect how they feel on the inside and have a sense of aesthetic harmony so that others don’t focus on one particular area of the face and instead focus on them as a person. Whether it’s injecting botox to help someone appear more approachable and less angry or an eyelid reconstruction to regain function and a natural appearance, both patients want to look in the mirror and feel like themselves. One of the most gratifying aspects of this career path is being able to help restore a person’s confidence in their appearance so they can let their true personality shine through in everyday life.”
Specializing in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery of the face and neck, Dr. Pafford’s surgical expertise includes functional and cosmetic procedures on the lids, brows, face, nose, lip, chin, neck, and ears, as well as reconstructive surgery following facial trauma and Mohs surgery. Additionally, she performs a wide range of non-surgical procedures for facial rejuvenation such as injectables, including facial fillers and Botox®, and other anti-aging treatments.
As a testament to her success, Dr. Pafford is the recipient of numerous awards and honors while serving in the military, including the Meritorious Service Award, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award, National Defense Service Medal, and Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon, among others.
When not working, she enjoys the outdoors with her dog, hot yoga, weightlifting, antique shopping, and traveling. She has also participated in numerous humanitarian missions with organizations such as The India Project, Healing the Children, and the HUGS Foundation.
