Meet Dr. Tara Ramachandra

Double Board-Certified Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon | Otolaryngologist–Head and Neck Surgeon | Expert in Reconstructive Surgery after Skin Cancer Excision

Dr. Tara Ramachandra is a double board-certified facial plastic and otolaryngology (ENT) surgeon specializing in both cosmetic and functional procedures of the face. She offers a full spectrum of facial plastic surgical services —from blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty to advanced reconstruction after skin cancer removal.

In today’s crowded aesthetic landscape, she provides a grounded, physician-led alternative that prioritizes subtle, natural-looking results. In addition to neck, face, brow and lip lift, she offers non-surgical facial rejuvenation with Botox and dermal fillers. She strives to help patients feel more comfortable, refreshed, and confident in their appearance—never overdone.  

Dr. Ramachandra also provides comprehensive ear, nose, and throat evaluations, treating a wide range of conditions affecting nasal breathing, sinus health, swallowing, sleep quality, and the voice.

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Dr. Ramachandra earned her B.S. in Biomechanical Engineering from Stanford University. She then worked as a design engineer at a medical device company before returning to Stanford to earn her M.D. She completed both her ENT residency and facial plastic surgery fellowship at Vanderbilt University. She then served as a clinical fellow at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland before relocating to St. Louis.

After moving to St. Louis, Dr. Ramachandra joined a private ENT practice where she developed a strong foundation in general otolaryngology and facial surgery. Since 2022, she has been recognized annually by her peers as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor. She has also worked extensively in a dermatology group, performing facial reconstruction after Mohs surgery.

Dr. Ramachandra’s work in academic institutions, private practice, and international settings have given her a broad and adaptable perspective on patient care. Now practicing in a concierge model, she is excited to spend meaningful, unrushed time with each patient to get to the core of their concerns and tailor treatment plans that reflect their unique goals.

She lives in St. Louis with her husband—who grew up in the area—their two young sons, and their red golden retriever, Sona. Outside of medicine, she enjoys traveling, listening to live music, and designing elaborate Halloween costumes for her kids.
