Dedicated to Building Confidence

Dr. Susan Kurian is passionate about helping her patients feel beautiful inside and out.

Susan Kurian, M.D. is a graduate of the American Academy of Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) fellowship program and is also board certified in head and neck surgery. She most recently worked with the facial plastic surgery division at Virginia Commonwealth University as well as at the Central Virginia Veterans Affairs Hospital, prior to moving to Seattle.

Dr. Kurian’s move to Seattle was inspired by the opportunity to work with the renowned Dr. Wayne Larrabee, who recently named her OR Director at the Larrabee Center for Plastic Surgery. Her practice is focused on rhinoplasty and face and neck lift surgery, but she says that the best rejuvenation comes from using the right combination of surgical and nonsurgical treatments. Dr. Kurian has been administering facial injectables for over 7 years, as well as Sculptra, which stimulates natural collagen production and skin elasticity. Dr. Kurian performs deep laser resurfacing, medical depth chemical peels, traumatic and acne scar treatments, ultrasound skin tightening, and radiofrequency microneedling. Her goal is always to help her patients look naturally refreshed and glowing with confidence.

Both surgeons also share an avid interest in global outreach; Dr. Kurian was involved in mission work in Matamoros, Mexico, for several years and has led surgeries on past Global Surgical Outreach trips with Dr. Larrabee. She will have upcoming trips with GSO for cleft rhinoplasty and facial reconstruction this winter. “Giving people their confidence back is why I do what I do.”
