Lisa Hunsicker is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has been practicing her "art" since 1995. Dr. Hunsicker decided

to pursue the specialty of plastic surgery in Denver specifically because she is committed to helping those in her care be

their most confident and positive selves.

She articulates Revalla's mission by saying, "I'm dedicated to providing a personalized and caring approach, so that I can

deliver exceptional results, tailored to meet each patient's individual needs."

From the time she was an undergrad, she has always been interested in opening her own practice where she could create

an intimate and caring environment to cater to each individual's personal needs and goals. Dr. Hunsicker has built

Revalla to offer this compassionate environment, where patients can feel comfortable and get the results they are looking

for.

Dr. Hunsicker has been practicing medicine since 1995, and she opened Revalla as her solo practice in Littleton

Colorado in 2001. She earned her medical degree from the University of Texas at Houston before moving on to her

General Surgery training at the University of Colorado/Denver.

Dr. Hunsicker then returned to Texas to complete her residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University

of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Missing the beautiful Rocky Mountains, she returned to Colorado to open

Revalla Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, where she could engage in the art and practice of cosmetic and

reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Hunsicker is highly skilled in the latest plastic surgery techniques and specializes in breast and body contouring

surgeries. She has spent time on the faculty of Sound Surgical Technologies, instructing other surgeons on the advanced

surgical techniques offered by Vaser LipoSelection.

She is one of an elite few surgeons in the country to perform the direct-to-implant breast reconstruction technique,

which offers women the opportunity to have their reconstruction performed at the time of mastectomy. This procedure

reduces the number of surgeries necessary for full reconstruction after mastectomy surgery. Dr. Hunsicker believes a

team approach to cancer care, with clear communication and collaboration, is the key to more surgeons offering this

innovative single-stage reconstruction technique.

Dr. Lisa Hunsicker is a strong advocate for women's health issues and enjoys giving back to underserved communities.

In addition to volunteering at health fairs, such as Tri for the Cure and at other local events, she has traveled many times

to countries like El Salvador and Peru to perform reconstructive surgery on children and adults.

Eye Institute/USC Department of Ophthalmology and his surgical retina fellowship at the Washington University St. Louis/Barnes Retina Institute.

He spent an additional year at Moorfields Eye Hospital and the Institute of Ophthalmology in London.

While at the University of Florida, he was the Richardson II Chair and head of the retina division. Dr. Kaushal established the clinical and surgical

retina division, recruited physicians, trained residents and surgical fellows mentored undergraduates, medical students, graduate students, and post-

docs in his research lab. Further, he organized an annual retina symposium that attracted many key leaders both in the US and internationally. During

that time, he established and became the Director of the Charlie Mack Overstreet Laboratory for Retinal Therapies. In 2009, he was recruited to the

University of Massachusetts as the chairman to build a new eye center and the first new academic Department of Ophthalmology in the United States

The thrust of Dr. Kaushal’s basic research is to understand the cellular, molecular and biochemical events that cause retinal and macular degeneration.

Collectively, the major research projects in his lab couple biochemical, small molecule and genetic approaches to understanding these important

retinal diseases. Some of his work has led to novel physician initiated clinical trials. Dr. Kaushal was the first in the world to use four of the new drugs

in the management of retina patients.

More recently, his research has lResearch in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), the Macula Society,

American Ophthalmological ed to the identification of certain nutraceuticals to mitigate common retinal diseases like macular degeneration and

diabetic retinopathy. This has led him to further understand the direct role of nutritional biochemistry in controlling the structure and function of the

retina. He is also actively developing stem cell treatments for retinal diseases.

Three years ago, he co-founded a nov el nutraceutical company, Rheostasis, based on his discoveries and desire to treat diseases at their root

biochemical cause. This company has developed novel formulations for eye health, sugar metabolism, vascular health, and preserving and optimizing

cellular health.

Dr. Kaushal has served on the scientific board or as a consultant for many of the major pharmaceutical and ophthalmic companies. He is a consultant

for multiple other biotechnology and diagnostic device companies.
