Lucy BarrDr

As a double board certified specialist in aesthetic surgery of the face, neck, and hair, and Utah’s first female board certified facial plastic surgeon, her extensive credentials set her apart from the crowd. After obtaining her medical degree in her home state from Oregon Health and Science University then completing her one year surgical internship followed by a 4-year surgical residency at the University of Utah, Dr. Barr was accepted to and completed a prestigious fellowship program certified by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

She was led to her career through a confluence of passions, interests, and abilities: art, aesthetics, science, health, dermatology, surgery, and a desire to help people feel their best. “I was exposed to surgery late in medical school and fell in love—like a sport you have a natural talent in—and I was encouraged to harness my abilities.” Dr. Barr continues, “ I’m drawn to the crossroads of art and science. A series of decisions in my path took me along the field of surgery, the subspecialty of otolaryngology head and neck surgery, and the sub-subspecialty of facial plastic surgery.”

Some perceive the field of facial aesthetics to be focused solely on the external, but Dr. Barr feels that wellness and appearance are complementary characteristics. This is evidenced in both her professional practice and her personal life. An avid athlete, she can often be found outdoors gliding on her wide boards through fresh powder, powering up the road on her bike, or participating in marathons. In her practice, she takes care to educate her patients about the aging process and helps them discover how to enhance their beauty in ways that will leave them looking and feeling natural and refreshed. She encourages healthy lifestyle choices and prevention, and works to embody those values well.
