Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done.

Renowned in his field, Dr. Obasi has been accepted by the American Institute of Plastic Surgeons (AIPS) as one of the “Ten Best Plastic Surgeons in Texas”.
