Doctor Brian West is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with nearly two
decades of experience specializing in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. After
graduating with honors from the Stanford Medical School with a Bachelor’s of
Science in Medical Microbiology, Doctor West received his doctorate of
medicine from the University of California at Irvine. His surgical training has
included many of the finest institutions in America including Harbor-UCLA, the
University of Kansas Medical Center, the Burnett Burn Center of Kansas City,
the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, and the Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled
Children-Los Angeles. He is formally trained in plastic and reconstructive
surgery, pediatric plastic surgery and pediatric burn reconstruction.
Doctor West has published articles in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, (the
premier journal of plastic surgery), the Journal of Pediatric Surgery,
Microsurgery, Pediatric Surgery International and many other peer-reviewed
journals. While in surgical training, he received a top research award from the
California Society of Plastic Surgeons for work with the use of ultra sound in
medicine. He served as an assistant clinical professor of plastic surgery at the
University of California Davis, teaching general surgery and plastic surgery
residents. He has given presentations to a wide variety of medical specialties
including the American Association of Plastic Surgeons, the California Society
of Plastic Surgeons, American Pediatric Society and the American Academy of
Pediatrics. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a
Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American
Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery.
Doctor West’s fascination with surgery and passion for plastic surgery
encompasses working with patients of all ages, addressing both their aesthetic
and reconstructive surgery needs. He is as skilled with reconstructing a baby’s
cleft lip and palate as with restoring a woman’s youthful beauty with a face lift.
Doctor West’s skills and talent allow him to restore a mother’s youthful
abdomen and breasts after child birth or to recreate a missing breast after a
loss to cancer. By applying the most modern plastic surgery techniques, he is
able to give you a new self confidence with an enhanced body image, help you
discover that hidden sex appeal, or restore your damaged self image. Doctor
West performs facial rejuvenation with face, neck, and brow lifts, eye lid
surgery, Botox injections, nose and ear surgery, collagen and fat injections,
and laser resurfacing. Body contouring is accomplished via tummy tucks
(anterior and circumferential), liposuction, and thigh and buttocks lifts. Breast
surgeries include augmentation (saline and silicone implants), reductions and
lifts. Doctor West is dedicated to achieving the results you desire with minimal
scar’ surgery and the fastest recovery time possible. He focuses on giving each
patient the special time and attention they need and deserve, both before and
after surgery.
