Behind the Double Doors: The Houston Plastic Surgery Podcast
Go beyond the doors of the operating room to learn about plastic surgery and non-surgical medical aesthetics with Houston board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bob Basu. Over the course of his plastic surgery career, Dr. Basu has performed over 16,000 cosmetic procedures. He advocates for his patients as a national leader in cosmetic surgery and patient safety. He is also an internationally-recognized speaker with over 80 presentations and publications under his belt.

The deep plane face and neck lift tightens the deeper layers of the face, bringing the skin along with it. By targeting these deeper layers, facial balance is restored without an overtightened look.
