Suzanne Yee, MD, FACS

Facial Plastic Surgeon/Cosmetic Surgeon

HOME: Holly Grove; born in Helena

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: Arthur’s Prime Steakhouse

FAVORITE MOVIE: The Blind Side

Dr. Suzanne Yee has spent her life turning obstacles into opportunities. Growing up Asian American with immigrant parents in a small town meant that she came face-to-face with prejudice at an early age, but her family also had plenty of supporters in the local community. Thanks to that experience, Yee learned to ignore the detractors and live her best life anyway. Taking inspiration from the resolve and adaptability of her parents, Yee took her work ethic to medical school, where she ranked first in her class at UAMS. With her husband taking care of the business side of things, Yee is able to focus on building relationships with patients and using cutting-edge techniques to achieve their dream results in every season of life. Yee, her husband and two daughters are active in their community, and if you can catch her outside of the office, you’ll probably find Yee traveling and trying out new restaurants.

What attracted you to your career?

As a surgeon, I can make an immediate difference in a person’s life with my skills. I am able to use my creative abilities and foresight to affect positive change in patients. It is an amazing feeling for me when someone comes back ecstatic about their results; I benefit from a patient’s positive outcomes as much as they do.

What other woman do you admire most?

My mother. She came to the United States with basically nothing and married my father. She learned to speak English, started a family business, worked extremely hard and afforded her children the ability to go to college and professional schools.

What’s something others would be surprised to know about you?

I love to watch America’s Got Talent. It allows people to showcase their talents – no matter what that talent is – and it is inspiring. I laugh and smile at every episode.

What is the best part of your day?

Early morning. I’m most productive in the morning and I have a little quiet time to gather my thoughts since I’m in the office for about an hour before anyone else.

What is your proudest achievement?

Our daughters. We instilled values and a strong work ethic into them, and they are responsible, independent women who are driven to make a difference.
