Dr. Dell’Oca graduated with honors from Stanford University with an MD in 1991. After five years of general surgery training at the UC San Diego, she attained her expertise in plastic surgery at the Lahey Clinic and the Harvard-affiliated hospitals.
She enjoys teaching the skills of plastic surgery to residents at the VA hospital as a volunteer clinical faculty member at Stanford. She also volunteers at the Community Breast Care Project.

Her cosmetic practice of facial rejuvenation and body contouring emphasizes individualizing each procedure (brow lift, blepharoplasty, face lift rhinoplasty, otoplasty, abdominoplasty, liposuction) to reveal the inherent beauty of the client. As a thoughtful and conservative surgeon, she advises her patients of the spectrum of therapy from non-invasive techniques to more involved procedures.

She is skilled in the procedures of breast augmentation (enlarging breasts), reduction, lifting and reconstruction (with an implant or by using one’s own tissue).

One of Dr. Dell’Oca’s particular areas of interest and training is in endoscopic carpal tunnel release, having trained extensively and delivered lectures on her retrospective study of open versus endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
