Their training reflects a demanding academic path. Dr. McElwee completed their medical education at Baylor College of Medicine, an institution long associated with rigorous surgical instruction.

Dr. McElwee is listed as board-certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (ABOHNS), a credential that reflects specialized training in the anatomy of the face, head, and neck.

Dr. McElwee has also earned a second board certification in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, a distinction that further concentrates their practice on facial rejuvenation and reconstruction.

Dr. McElwee's core procedures include the deep plane facelift, neck lift, brow lift, CO2 laser resurfacing, and lip lift. Together, these procedures allow Dr. McElwee to address facial aging in a coordinated, layered manner.

The deep plane facelift sits at the center of Dr. McElwee's practice. Unlike older techniques that pull on skin, this approach releases and lifts the SMAS (the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, a supportive layer beneath the skin) so tissue is repositioned rather than stretched.

Dr. McElwee's approach emphasizes natural-looking results and durable rejuvenation. By working beneath the muscle layer, the deep plane method aims to restore youthful contour without the tight, over-pulled appearance associated with skin-only lifts.

Their background in reconstructive surgery shapes Dr. McElwee's cosmetic work. Dr. McElwee has treated patients with complex facial conditions, including facial deformities and skin cancers, experience that informs their understanding of facial anatomy and healing.

Many of Dr. McElwee's cosmetic patients come to Dr. McElwee after difficult prior experiences. Dr. McElwee has worked with individuals seeking correction of earlier surgery, applying their reconstructive training to restore both function and appearance.

Dr. McElwee practices at Memorial Plastic Surgery, a group setting that offers a range of facial and body procedures. This structure allows Dr. McElwee to concentrate on the facial and neck work that defines their specialty.

Dr. McElwee was recognized as a Texas Super Doctor Rising Star for 2024, an acknowledgment within the surgical community.

Recovery guidance is a meaningful part of their patient care. Dr. McElwee walks patients through the healing timeline for a deep plane facelift, from the initial swelling of the first weeks to the gradual softening of results over several months.

Dr. McElwee's Portland patients tend to value careful planning and honest expectation-setting. Dr. McElwee frames each consultation around individual anatomy, goals, and the realities of facial aging rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

For women considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. McElwee offers a combination of specialized training, a defined procedural focus, and experience with both cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgery in Portland.
