Precision, Experience, and a Gentle Approach

Meet Dr. James Rough

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. James Rough combines advanced training with a calm, caring presence.

A UCLA fellowship graduate with additional training under world-renowned body contouring surgeon Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, Dr. James brings unmatched skill to both aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Beyond his credentials, patients value his approachable nature, thoughtful guidance, and commitment to natural results that feel true to you.

Bilingual Care

A Family-Centered Practice

Working alongside Dr. James is his wife, NP-Claudia Rough, a skilled nurse practitioner specializing in injectables and non-surgical treatments. Together, they offer a full spectrum of care—surgical expertise from Dr. Rough and rejuvenating medspa treatments from NP-Claudia—all under one roof.

We are proud to serve Tucson’s diverse community with a fully bilingual staff. Both Dr. James and NP-Claudia are fluent in Spanish, ensuring that Spanish-speaking patients can communicate comfortably, ask questions openly, and feel confident that their needs are fully understood. From your first phone call to your post-treatment care, you’ll always have the option to be guided in the language you prefer.
