Profile of Ben Cilento, Dr

Dr. Cilento is an award winning facial plastic surgeon in Houston, Texas. His reputation precedes him both professionally and from his patients.

His work as both a facial plastic surgeon and sinus surgeon gives him a unique understanding of not just the form of the nose but also it's function. Because of this, he regularly performs revision rhinoplasties where patients have function of their nose from a primary rhinoplasty done by another surgeon.

He is an artist in the surgery suite and receives regular accolades from patients on his compassion and care. He is passionate about not only giving patients the look they desire, but also educating them on the process. He truly believes a positive outcome to plastic surgery is a joint effort between patient and surgeon. Pre and post op care are paramount to success.
