care and service beyond expectation

Renowned Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Barlow received his plastic surgery training at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. In addition to the thousands of cases at UTMB, this integrated plastic surgery program also included rotations in Miami with a focus on aesthetic surgery with noted experts specializing in rhytidectomy (facelift), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and cosmetic breast surgery (breast augmentations and breast lifts) as well as detailed training in the application of injectables (Botox, dermal fillers, etc.). Dr. Barlow also trained at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas where he learned advanced reconstructive techniques. Dr. Barlow’s plastic surgery training has equipped him to build a successful practice that includes both aesthetic (cosmetic) and reconstructive procedures of all types.
