Anthony BraswellDr

Dr. Braswell, a North Texas native, was born and raised in the suburbs of Fort Worth. He graduated from Grapevine High School in 1993. After high school, he followed his father’s footsteps and attended Auburn University on an Army ROTC scholarship. He deferred his active-duty time to attend medical school at the University of Texas Medical School in San Antonio. There he met his wife, Lezli, who is now a family physician in Flower Mound. After medical school, Dr. Braswell completed a residency in general surgery at the Army’s flagship medical center in San Antonio. During his general surgery residency, he decided to specialize in plastic and reconstructive surgery, but the attacks on 9/11 changed the course of his career. He spent the next ten years as a general surgeon, primarily focused on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. His primary concentration was optimizing the effectiveness of Forward Surgical Teams on his four combat deployments. The FST is the Army’s surgical asset positioned closest to the battlefield, designed to maximize the survival of the injured soldier in the “golden hour” after injury. After the United States pulled out of Iraq, Dr. Braswell entered a 3-year plastic and reconstructive surgical residency in New York. The Army then assigned him to Fort Cavazos, TX, where he created the first plastic and reconstructive surgery service at the world’s largest military installation. Dr. Braswell retired from active duty after 20 years of service. He then completed an ASAPS-endorsed aesthetic plastic surgery fellowship in Charlotte, NC, before transitioning into civilian plastic surgery. Dr. Braswell moved to Flower Mound in 2023 and is proud to join fellow Army Veteran Dr. Drew Sanderson at Flower Mound Plastic Surgery.

In his spare time Dr. Braswell spends time raising teenage baseball players, crafting artisan coffee, cooking with fire (central Texas BBQ style), college football tailgating, wake surfing, and talking with anyone about cars and trucks. During his military career, he and his wife have started multiple bible studies to mentor medical students and young married couples. They currently attend church in Flower Mound, TX.
