Stephen M. BeckerDr

When meeting Dr. Becker, his enthusiasm for Cosmetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery is evident immediately. He puts patients at ease with the easygoing, caring demeanor of a small town “doc” while instilling confidence with his extensive knowledge and attention to detail.

For Dr. Becker, Cosmetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery is not his job, it’s his calling. He is passionate about his patients’ care, their overall experience, and their results. What he does is both an art and a science, allowing him to achieve excellent, natural-appearing results through advanced surgical methods, meticulous attention to detail and patient-physician communication. Dr. Becker believes the most valuable asset he has to offer is time: time to educate and talk with the patient in order to make sure their goals can and will be met and taking time in the operating room to make sure everything is the absolute best it can be. When considering cosmetic or reconstructive plastic surgery, it is important to choose a surgeon with a keen aesthetic sense, strong surgical skills, a commitment to patient education, and a heart for providing compassionate care.

Dr. Becker remains committed to breast cancer patients, a patient population he connected with during his residency. He is honored to be a Susan G. Komen Knoxville Pink Tie Guy, leads a team and participates in Race for the Cure and Shoot for the Cure. He is an invited speaker at several cancer support groups, as well as an educator and leader in the use of anatomic shaped “gummy bear” implants for breast reconstruction. Most important, he travels to underserved communities to provide immediate reconstruction for patients who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity. He is a firm believer that zip code should not dictate the quality of care.
