Best plastic surgeons in Houston, TX

Reconstruction and the Medical Center

After cancer or major injury, ask your treating team which plastic surgeon they work with. Timing with chemotherapy or radiation can matter, so coordination comes first. Ask how many stages you should expect, who manages each one, and how your plan will handle the several bills you may receive.

Checking a Houston surgeon

Burn injuries and scars in Houston

Refinery accidents, kitchen fires and storm cleanup with generators can all send people to a burn team. Memorial Hermann describes the John S. Dunn Burn Center as the only comprehensive burn center in Houston, and says care covers critical care, acute inpatient treatment, burn reconstruction, scar management and rehabilitation. It is a joint effort with UTHealth Houston's medical school, and its site lists separate numbers for hospital transfers and outpatient referrals.

For patients, the difference between an injury team and a cosmetic office is practical. A burn team expects hand stiffness, itching and graft problems, and it can coordinate physical and occupational therapy. An old scar may eventually lead to a private plastic surgeon, but start by asking the original team for your operative notes.

Stay mindful of the weather as well. After a storm, wound care supplies and clinic hours can be disrupted, so ask for extra dressings and a phone number that will still work if your usual office is closed.

Timing, traffic and storms

Plan for Houston's distances. A surgery center across town can make follow-up harder, particularly if you cannot drive. If you are having elective surgery in hurricane season, ask what happens if a storm forces a closure, how you would reach your surgeon, and where you would go if the power fails while you are recovering.

Costs and contracts

Ask about every fee and read the deposit policy. ASPS says the surgeon's fee is just part of the bill. If a practice offers a credit card, read the CFPB warning about deferred interest. Keep your contract, as the Texas Attorney General can take consumer complaints about refunds or advertising.
