Dallas Plastic Surgeon Wins Accolades

DALLAS, TX, August 22, 2010 (Press-News.org) Dr. Steve Byrd, (www.drstevebyrd.com) a board-certified Dallas plastic surgeon, has garnered many awards and accolades throughout his career. Recently, he was awarded Honorary Membership in the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons. He has also been named as one of "America's Top Doctors" by Castle Connolly for more than 5 years in a row, a 2010 "Super Doctor" in Texas Monthly, and was recognized as one of "America's Top Plastic Surgeons" for 2010 by the Guide to America's Top Plastic Surgeons.

"I feel deeply honored by every award I've received," says Dr. Byrd. "I strive to be more than just a skilled technician - I also want to provide my patients with care and compassion along with a commitment to safety and comfort."

As a keynote speaker at the 2008 Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons annual meeting, Dr. Byrd was heralded by the Society as a "true giant of world plastic surgery" and "an innovative thinker who has been able to translate these thoughts into masterful results." In gratitude for his participation at the 2008 conference and as an acknowledgment of his contribution to the field of plastic surgery, he was awarded Honorary Membership in the Society.

"I've become widely known as an innovator, someone who has developed and refined techniques that I perform for plastic surgery in Dallas and that can be implemented by surgeons in other areas so that they, too, can deliver fantastic results for their patients," explains Dr. Byrd.

An example of one of the innovative techniques Dr. Byrd uses, the endoscopic approach to breast augmentation in Dallas uses a tiny camera to assist surgery and can be performed with a small incision hidden in the armpit. This is only one example of the procedures he refines to meet the needs of a wide range of patients.

"I'm very pleased to be named a 'Super Doctor' by Texas Monthly," says Dr. Byrd. "Nominees for this award are actually selected by their peers - other doctors who were asked to name the physicians they would trust to care for their families and loved ones."

While Dr. Byrd explains that he enjoys the opportunity to visit plastic surgeons internationally and share ideas with his peers, his top priority is the care he provides for patients in Dallas. "This is where I've made my home and where I've refined my techniques," he explains. "My patients and experiences here have made me who I am as a surgeon - I owe much of my success to them."
