Tara Huston, MD

Plastic surgery is a partnership between me and my patients. To this partnership, I bring a combination of skill, integrity, feminism, and compassion. Whether we meet because you are considering breast reconstruction, or contemplating aesthetic rejuvenation, it is my goal to provide the highest level of patient safety and quality care. I strive to empower my patients, simplify what can be a challenging maze of surgical options and make their experience a pleasant one. As a plastic surgeon, I am committed to providing state-of-the-art care to my patients, using the latest technology and science to their benefit.
