We're an All-Women Team
The Austin Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery team is made up entirely of women, each passionate about and uniquely equipped to provide the highest level of care to both our aesthetic and reconstructive patients. Nearly 90 percent of all aesthetic patients are women, and statistically one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, with many desiring breast reconstruction, but only 6 percent of board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States are female. Our personalized treatment plans and compassionate care reflect our surgeons understanding of women's unique needs.
The provider team is led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christine Fisher, Dr. Tosan Ehanire, and three physician assistants, each with 10-plus years of special expertise in plastic surgery and aesthetic skincare. All of our nurses and medical assistants have ample plastic surgery-specific experience. The administrative team includes two breast cancer survivors who serve as patient care coordinators for our breast reconstruction patients, two cosmetic patient care coordinators, and our knowledgeable practice administrator.
The practice takes a team approach to ensure the highest level of attention and quality to the patient experience, from the first phone call through treatment and recovery. We treat each patient as a family member and genuinely look forward to coming to work every day.
Safety is Our Number One Priority
Safety has always come first, without exception. At your consultation, we will take the time to describe the risks of any surgical procedures you may be considering and how we as a team work together with you to minimize those risks. Here are some of the ways we ensure your safety:
