About

West Houston Plastic Surgery is a long-established, board-certified plastic surgery practice located in Houston, Texas, founded by Dr. Alfonso Barrera M.D., F.A.C.S. — double board-certified in Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology with over 40 years in private practice and a faculty appointment at Baylor College of Medicine. Joined by Dr. Eric Ruff M.D., an award-winning plastic surgeon trained at UTMB Galveston with rotations at MD Anderson Cancer Center, the practice performs all procedures in its on-site AAAASF-accredited ambulatory surgical suite using IV sedation and local anaesthesia rather than general anaesthetic gas. Core surgical services include breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, full and mini abdominoplasty, liposuction across multiple body zones, and closed-technique rhinoplasty. Same-day discharge is standard for most procedures.

tummy-tuck

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

West Houston Plastic Surgery performs full, mini, and extended abdominoplasty to remove excess abdominal skin, tighten the underlying musculature, and sculpt a flatter, firmer abdominal contour. The full technique uses two incisions — hip-to-hip at the pubic hairline and around the navel — to address skin laxity both above and below the navel, with muscle plication to repair separated or weakened abdominal muscles. The mini technique requires a single lower incision and targets the zone below the navel. The extended variant includes the flanks and hip sides for patients with circumferential laxity. All procedures are performed in the on-site AAAASF-accredited surgical suite under IV sedation; Exparel is used for extended post-operative comfort.

breast-surgery

Breast Surgery

West Houston Plastic Surgery offers the full range of breast procedures — augmentation, lift (mastopexy), and reduction — performed in its on-site AAAASF-accredited surgical suite under IV sedation and local anaesthesia, with same-day discharge for most patients. Breast augmentation uses saline or silicone-gel implants placed over or under the pectoral muscle through a natural breast-crease incision. Mastopexy removes excess skin, tightens supporting tissue, and repositions the nipple-areola complex; an anchor or concentric incision pattern is chosen based on the degree of ptosis. Breast reduction addresses overly large breasts through a three-incision technique removing excess tissue, fat, and skin, with optional liposuction for underarm contour refinement.

rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

West Houston Plastic Surgery performs rhinoplasty using a preferred closed technique — all incisions placed inside the nostrils, leaving no external scar — suitable for most cosmetic reshaping goals. Open rhinoplasty is reserved for complex reconstructive cases or congenital deformities. Surgery runs 1–2 hours under IV sedation and local anaesthesia with same-day discharge. The procedure can address dorsal humps, tip definition, nasal width, asymmetry, and, where relevant, breathing obstruction. Candidates are typically aged 14–15 (females) or 16–17 (males) or older, once nasal development is complete.

liposuction

Liposuction

West Houston Plastic Surgery offers liposuction (lipoplasty) across a broad range of body zones — abdomen, hips, flanks, buttocks, thighs, calves, ankles, back, arms, neck, and chest — using suction-assisted, power-assisted, ultrasound-assisted, and laser-assisted techniques tailored to each area and patient anatomy. Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that selectively removes localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise, not a weight-loss treatment. The procedure is performed in the clinic's on-site AAAASF-accredited surgical suite under IV sedation with local anaesthesia, allowing same-day discharge for most patients.
