The Aesthetic Surgery Institute in Houston, TX is pleased to offer a fellowship in General Cosmetic Surgery starting in 2024.  The program encompasses training in cosmetic surgery of the breast (breast augmentation, augmentation mastopexies, breast reductions), body contouring (liposuction, abdominoplasty, body lift procedures), facial rejuvenation (rhytidectomies, rhinoplasties, blepharoplasties), and hair transplantation.

The Training Fellow will be involved in all aspects of patient management, including pre-operative assessment, operative surgery, and post-operative care.  The level of operative involvement will be commensurate with the advancing skills and knowledge of the surgical trainee.

There will be a stipend provided during the fellowship year.
