Because Looking Good Is Important

HOUSTON PLASTIC SURGERY

About Our Practice

Dr. Barrera and Dr. Ruff believe that an informed patient is the best patient. We take extra care to thoroughly explain all aspects of procedures to our patients, ensuring they understand every detail. Our primary goal is to achieve results that are not only beautiful but also look natural, all while prioritizing safety. We are proud to offer our own Accredited Ambulatory Surgical Facility (AAAASF) on-site, allowing us to perform all aesthetic surgeries in-house, eliminating the need for a hospital visit. Additionally, we conduct all procedures using IV sedation and local anesthesia, ensuring a painless experience during the procedure with minimal discomfort afterward, while avoiding general anesthesia for enhanced safety, comfort, and quicker recovery.
