Bob BasuDr

Dr. Bob Basu is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed over 16,000 cosmetic procedures. Dr. Basu advocates for his patients as a national leader in cosmetic surgery and patient safety. He currently serves as the Board Vice President (Finance) of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He is also an internationally-recognized speaker with over 80 presentations and publications under his belt. Most recently, he published Cosmetic Breast Surgery, a seminal textbook on contemporary aesthetic breast surgical techniques.

Dr. Basu always loved creative pursuits, especially those that involved developing a strategy or plan, pulling all of the best resources together, and finally carrying out his vision. This is a big part of what he loves about plastic surgery.

He also enjoys the challenge that the specialty provides. He originally thought he would pursue cardiovascular surgery, but discovered his passion for plastic surgery during his general surgery residency at George Washington University Medical Center. One of his mentors pointed out that, after any particular operation, Dr. Basu was very meticulous about making sure the closure looked great. That mentor foretold a future in aesthetic plastic surgery.
