The decision to undergo plastic surgery is deeply personal. For many patients, finding a female plastic surgeon is the crucial first step. They seek a female surgeon and doctor with an intuitive understanding of the female experience and the nuanced ways their bodies and faces change over time.
Dr. Carey Campbell, MD, brings this essential female perspective to StarkMD. Operating with the same preservation-first philosophy that defines our Philadelphia area's practice, she provides a welcoming environment where your goals are structurally realized. Located in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania (PA), our clinic offers discreet access to world-class care for those traveling from around the Main Line, Center City Philadelphia, New Jersey (NJ), as well as across the country.
Dr. Campbell is an award-winning, highly trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon who brings an exceptional clinical pedigree to Bryn Mawr and the Main Line Philadelphia area.
She completed her rigorous plastic surgery residency at the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) in Dallas—consistently ranked as the top training program in the country—where she was appointed Administrative Chief Resident. At UTSW, Dr. Campbell trained with the original pioneers of deep plane preservation Plastic Surgery. She then advanced her expertise with a highly coveted year-long Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship with a focus on facial and breast surgery at the prestigious Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital (MEETH) in New York City. Having trained under some of the world’s leading plastic surgeons throughout her career, she developed a deep focus on complex aesthetic and reconstructive techniques of the face and breast and continues to seek out pioneering new techniques.
After eight successful years as a partner in private practice in Memphis, Dr. Campbell joined Stark MD because of a shared refusal to compromise on patient safety or aesthetic subtlety, as well as a shared commitment to concierge-level surgical care. She does not believe in the "cookie-cutter" approach. Every surgical plan she designs is highly individualized, ensuring that the final result honors the patient's natural identity. Her patients consistently note her approachable demeanor, her willingness to listen without rushing, and her meticulous attention to detail in the operating room. As a woman, she feels she shares and understands the same facial and breast concerns her patients often bring to her to address.
Dr. Campbell is a dedicated professional who has mastered the full spectrum of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Following her rigorous Princeton University education and Case Western medical school training, she developed extensive experience and specialized knowledge in deep-plane surgery.
She upholds the stringent, ethical guidelines established by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. When you book a procedure with her, you receive the elite attention you expect from a board-certified plastic surgeon. Every plastic surgeon within our practice operates under the rigorous safety mandates of the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Working alongside practice founder Dr. Ran Stark since 2013, Dr. Campbell is proud to offer a similar highly individualized approach backed by top-tier training, with a woman’s perspective. Her philosophy is that true aesthetic success highlights the natural beauty of how your form looks, how your body moves, and how you feel in your own skin.
Dr. Campbell’s repertoire spans the entire spectrum of aesthetic medicine, seamlessly integrating the principles of reconstructive surgery into every cosmetic surgery case for lasting results.
Facial aging requires structural elevation, not surface tension. Dr. Campbell performs advanced cosmetic procedures that lift the underlying structures of the face known as the SMAS, avoiding the "windblown" look. She maintains a robust patient population of both men and women across the Philadelphia region seeking elegant refinement. In her hands, facial rejuvenation includes not only deep plane face and neck lifts but also fat grafting to restore lost volume, browlifts, laser skin resurfacing, rhinoplasty for nasal refinement, and eyelid surgery to remove exhausted skin around the eye. Dr. Campbell is able to holistically address all the signs of facial aging .
The female chest changes profoundly due to genetics, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Dr. Campbell approaches breast surgery with deep respect for these realities, having experienced it herself as a mother and woman. Dr. Campbell decided to become a Plastic Surgeon after her mother’s experience with breast cancer. As a result, she always prioritizes the long-term health of your breasts. She avoids "cookie-cutter" implants and surgical plans, but uses implants, fat grafting, breast lifts, and reductions to create a specific algorithm for your breasts. She recommends a structural solution that works in harmony with your natural frame, ensuring your appearance complements your goals for your breasts.
Walking into a clinic can be intimidating, but our team ensures you are entirely comfortable. Here is what to expect during the process:
Comfort and shared biology matter. Many women find that a female surgeon possesses an inherent, lived understanding of physical changes and how they impact not just their body but also their confidence. This shared perspective allows patients to express their vulnerabilities and discover their ideal aesthetic outcome.
Dr. Campbell feels the answer is “Yes”. Traditional facelifts place tension on the skin without solid underlying support, creating a less durable, wind-swept look. A deep plane facelift releases the retaining ligaments and lifts the muscles and SMAS to resuspend the face in the optimal vertical angle for your facial structure. This restores the face to its native youthful position, resulting in an undetectable, elegant outcome that ages gracefully.
Yes. Dr. Campbell expertly handles both aesthetic and reconstructive cases. During your visit, she will assess if non-surgical treatments can achieve your goals or if a surgical approach is required for a lasting result.
