Originally from Salt Lake
City, Utah, Dr. Troy J. Andreasen grew up interested in plastic
surgery. As a successful amateur boxer, he became acquainted
with a plastic surgeon while in that sport. Through this
association, his interest in the broad field blossomed and he went on
to immerse himself in its study for the next several years.
Following two years of
religious missionary service, Dr. Andreasen completed medical school
at the University of Utah. While there, he developed advanced
microsurgical skills under the direction of the renowned hand surgeon,
Graham Lister. His efforts in microsurgical research helped
define the effects of trauma on microcirculation. Dr. Andreasen
was awarded the highest achievement award from his alma mater and
graduated at the top of his medical school class.
Dr. Andreasen was then
chosen as one of the first medical school graduates in the United
States to train in an integrated General Surgery /Plastic Surgery
program that emphasized cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. At
Loma Linda University, Dr. Andreasen excelled in all facets of his
training and established himself as one of their premier plastic
surgical trainees. His specific interests included cosmetic
surgery of the body and face and reconstructive surgery of the breast.
Dr. Andreasen has been
actively involved in missionary service since he was 19 years
old. He currently captains the Loma Linda Good Samaritan Plastic
Surgery efforts in Cabo san Lucas, Mexico. Twice yearly, this
team offers reconstructive surgery services to impoverished children
who would otherwise have no access to these procedures. Dr.
Andreasen's training in cleft lip and palate repair as well as his
experience in burn surgery are valuable components of the missionary endeavor.
Dr. Andreasen's pursuit of
excellence in Plastic Surgery continues now in his private
practice. With personalized service and care, he treats every patient
individually and provides complete surgical care from the initial
consultation through the recovery. Emphasizing safety, Dr.
Andreasen performs his cosmetic and reconstructive procedures at
several hospitals and surgery centers throughout the Inland
Empire.
