Our Passion
At Tansavatdi Facial Plastic Surgery, we believe that happiness derives from doing what we were meant to do. Contrary to the idea that doing what you love makes work effortless, a passion puts you to work, challenges you, and motivates you to keep striving to do better. Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi has been studying and operating on the face and neck for more than 15 years, and continues to be inspired and motivated every day from hearing the life-changing stories her patients share with her. She has surrounded herself with a team that carries values and passions that she admires. We are proud to be a team that is singularly focused on truly being masters at our craft in the face and neck, and that delivers service with compassion, respect, authenticity, and care.
Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi highly values the connections she makes on a personal level and the trust she is able to build with her patients.
Dr. Tansavatdi is very forward-thinking in what services she provides for the face and neck. As an avid lifelong learner, she frequently combines knowledge from recent research articles, seminars, and academic meetings with her care and dedication. This helps her to constantly refine her surgical and non-surgical procedures, as well as pre and post-care to ensure a smooth experience from start to finish.
Dr. Tansavatdi also has a passion for combining knowledge from other fields, including regenerative medicine, health, and wellness for a true mix of science and art. A South Pasadena native, Dr. Tansavatdi is the only female facial plastic surgeon in Westlake Village. This, along with her great attention to detail and passion for improving the lives of her patients, is what makes her stand apart from other surgeons in the area.
I love seeing the increase in my patients’ confidence after the surgeries. Building quality lifelong relationships with both my patients and their families is one of the most important things to me. I love what I do every day because seeing my patients’ faces light up after surgery and the self-confidence that they exude gives me so much motivation to do my very best.
