Go beyond the doors of the operating room to learn about plastic surgery and non-surgical medical aesthetics with Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Bob Basu. Over the course of his plastic surgery career, Dr. Basu has performed over 18,000 cosmetic procedures.

He is a renowned leader in cosmetic surgery and patient safety, and specializes in procedures including breast augmentation, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, facial rejuvenation, and body lifting procedures after weight loss. He is also an internationally-recognized speaker with over 80 presentations and publications under his belt. He published Cosmetic Breast Surgery, a seminal textbook on contemporary aesthetic breast surgery techniques.

Originally from the Northeast, Dr. Basu likes to say he “got to Texas as fast as he could.” He fell in love with the area while completing his plastic surgery fellowship at the prestigious Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in the Texas Medical Center.
Hospitality is very important to Dr. Basu, and it is a cornerstone of the Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery’s patient care philosophy. The team, hand-picked by Dr. Basu, strives to exceed patient expectations while ensuring optimal safety and comfort.
