Profile of Todd S. Howell III, Dr

I am passionate about my chosen field and the ability to help my patients. I believe that the hallmark of excellence in aesthetic plastic surgery is a natural and beautiful result. I believe that beauty is found in art, animals, nature, music, dance, architecture, and the human form. My surgical results are inspired by an appreciation for all of these.

Education and training are extremely important in the quest to obtain world-class plastic surgery results. I have had the good fortune to train with some of the most respected and talented surgeons in the world. My gratitude to them is deep and immeasurable. I am one of the approximately two hundred surgeons in the country to have completed two residency programs leading to certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery as well as the American Board of Otolaryngology (Head and Neck Surgery).

Aside from education and training, I believe experience is the ultimate mentor in plastic surgery. Following patients through the years and seeing the cause and effect relationship of the surgery on the patient is invaluable knowledge.
