Overview

As a fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon, I perform aesthetic surgery of the face and neck. My particular expertise is in rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation procedures, including face and neck lifts, upper and lower eyelid surgery, fat grafting, Botox, and fillers. I also perform surgeries for functional reasons, including nasal obstruction, nasal bone fractures, and acquired facial deformities from trauma or cancer. My goal is to provide natural, long-lasting results and for my patients to feel confident and like the best version of themselves. I believe it’s important to listen to what the patient wants and truly hear them to achieve a successful outcome tailored to the patient, not a cookie-cutter result. My favorite part of my work is seeing the effect my treatment has on a patient's confidence and quality of life.

Dr. Franco is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Sinus Cancer. Her top area of expertise is Facial Paralysis.

I feel very blessed to have a profession that allows me to serve patients with both cancerous and non-cancerous diseases of the head and neck. As a head and neck surgeon, I carefully weigh the risks and benefits of treatment — working with our team to maximize the chance for cure while maintaining the highest quality of life. As a physician, my approach to patient care includes addressing one's physical, emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual needs and well-being. My research endeavors strive to improve the care we provide to patients with head and neck cancers. I have had a research program in tumor immunotherapy. I am active in addressing global health needs, being involved with regular humanitarian mission trips throughout the world. I am also active in training the next generation of surgeons that are able to address and solve challenges in an ethical and virtuous way. I have, along with my colleagues, developed and instituted a virtue-based approach to residency training that will meet this need. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four kids in a variety of activities. Dr. Lee is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Sinus Cancer.

I joined Duke Health as a facial plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist in August of 2016. My practice is concentrated on both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery of the head and neck. I have a strong passion in international humanitarian aid in the form of reconstructive surgery. I have traveled to Kenya, Bangladesh and Mexico to provide general medical and surgical care, with a particular focus on cleft lip and palate surgery. I am originally from North Carolina, but completed my residency training in Virginia and fellowship training in Oregon. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking and photography. I am deeply committed to providing excellent care, partnering with patients to apply surgical expertise that results in a natural appearance and improved quality of life.
