Clayton L. Moliver, M.D., F.A.C.S.

"There is no greater satisfaction as a plastic surgeon than having a patient tell you how good they feel about the results of their surgery."

Dr. Clayton Moliver started his practice in 1992 and has years of experience. Although his early years were devoted to a mixture of reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, the last 10 years have been devoted exclusively to cosmetic surgery. He performs all areas of cosmetic surgery. Most patients come to him as referrals from other patients. More and more he is taking care of patients operated on elsewhere who now need cosmetic corrective surgery.

Medical Training and Credentials

Want to know the secret to choosing a qualified plastic surgeon? Look at his or her credentials.

To be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a doctor must have completed four years of medical school, three years of clinical training in general surgery, and a residency of at least two years in an accredited plastic surgery hospital program. In addition, the doctor must pass the scrutiny of his or her peers.

Dr. Moliver received his medical school degree at Texas Tech University School of Medicine, Lubbock, Texas. He completed his six years of general surgery residency at Texas Tech Regional Academic Health Science Center, El Paso, Texas, from 1984-1990, serving as Chief Resident, 1989-90. He completed his plastic surgery residency at St. Joseph Hospital, Houston, Texas, from 1990-1992. During that time, he trained with world-renowned plastic surgeons, including the inventor of the breast implant, Dr. Thomas Cronin, and the past Editor-in-Chief of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (the official journal of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), Dr. Thomas M. Biggs. Dr Moliver also found time to be a Major in the U.S. Army Reserves Medical Corps from which he retired a few years ago. In March, 2011, Dr. Moliver accepted a position at The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas as Clinical Professor, Department of Surgery, Division of Plastic Surgery
