Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship

The UT Southwestern Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship is a prestigious, fully immersive, one-year program dedicated exclusively to advanced training in aesthetic surgery. Under the leadership of Jeffrey M. Kenkel, M.D., and William P. Adams Jr., M.D., this fellowship provides a comprehensive and progressive experience designed to bridge the transition from training to independent practice.

Fellows gain hands-on experience in all facets of aesthetic surgery, including facial aesthetics, rhinoplasty, breast and body contouring, non-surgical rejuvenation, and laser procedures. The program offers a unique structure where fellows independently manage and perform cosmetic surgical procedures, with faculty consultation and mentorship from renowned national leaders in plastic surgery.

In addition to direct surgical experience, fellows actively participate in the management of a private aesthetic surgery practice, learning critical business and patient care aspects essential for success in private practice.

The fellowship provides unparalleled exposure to a broad range of aesthetic techniques through collaborations with leading surgeons in the UT Southwestern Department of Plastic Surgery and Dallas plastic surgery community:

This one-of-a-kind fellowship fosters exceptional technical skills, clinical judgment, and practice management expertise, preparing fellows for leadership roles in aesthetic plastic surgery.
