Cosmetic Surgeon in the Houston Area
Dr. Raghu Athré is one of the few Houston cosmetic surgeons who has completed specialty fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and is a board-certified Head/Neck Surgeon. Athré Surgical Associates was created to provide patients with comprehensive plastic surgery care for the face, breast, and body. He believes, "All plastic surgery procedures must be performed with the same level of competency. My specialized training has prepared me to perform very intricate surgeries that require a high attention to detail. These refined skills allow me to provide the same level of service to my patients, whether they are considering rhinoplasty in the Houston area or breast augmentation."

Before becoming a cosmetic surgeon serving Houston residents, Dr. Athré started his academic career at the University of Texas at Austin where he graduated with honors in Chemical Engineering. He has always been interested in the way things work, and creating things that work functionally and aesthetically. Dr. Athré likes to relate surgery to engineering. Both require analysis, attention to detail and a plan of action. "Furthermore, one must always have a back-up game plan," says Dr. Athré. Following completing his undergraduate degree, Dr. Athré graduated in the top 10% of his medical school class at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, one of the top medical schools in the country. He was also awarded the Hudson-Penn Award, which is awarded annually to the top surgical senior medical student.
Dr. Athré Named a "Top Doctor" for 2011
H Texas magazine has recognized Dr. Raghu Athré as one of the city's Top Doctors in 2011.
After medical school, Dr. Athré completed his residency in Otolaryngology and Head/Neck Surgery at UT Southwestern in Dallas, Texas, one of the busiest hospitals in the US. Head/neck surgery allowed Dr. Athré to specialize in one area and become the expert with respect to all facets of surgery within that area. "Aesthetic surgery makes more sense when you have seen reconstruction and trauma and can take care of all of these problems in a comprehensive manner," states Dr. Athré. After completing residency, Dr. Athré sought out super specialty training in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery. He was awarded one of less than 40 positions in the country to complete his fellowship training.
Dr. Athré completed his fellowship in Atlanta, GA at the Premier Image Cosmetic and Laser Surgery Center under the training of Dr. William Silver, one of the fathers of facial plastic surgery. After completing his training, Dr. Athré started his own plastic surgery practice in his hometown of Houston, TX, called Athré Surgical Associates.
