Houston,
Texas Plastic Surgeon & Cosmetic Surgeon
Mark
A. Schusterman, M.D., P.A.
Dr.
Schusterman:
"To truly make a body and face more beautiful,
a plastic surgeon has to understand and skillfully work
with the structure of the human body, down to microscopic
blood vessels, muscles and nerves. In addition, the
surgeon has to understand that the patient's experience
during the process also needs special care - technical
skills are not enough. The surgeon has to provide reassurance
and support all the way through the process, managing
the patient's anxiety and expectations."
Dr.
Schusterman has devoted a great deal of his career to
researching and developing microsurgical reconstruction
surgical techniques in aid of head, neck and breast
cancer patients. The associated challenges have endowed
him with considerable knowledge and understanding of
the human body and have finely honed his surgical skills,
particularly when it comes to plastic and cosmetic surgery.
Working with people in crisis, such as cancer patients,
takes special people skills - empathy, compassion and
caring. The spirit and emotions of the patient need
as much attention as the body for the healing to be
a complete success. Dr. Schusterman has learned those
skills and applies them to his plastic and cosmetic
surgery patients today.
A
graduate of Emory University and the University of Louisville
School of Medicine, Dr. Schusterman is in private practice
in Houston, Texas, where his office is located in the
heart of the Texas Medical Center.
