Dr. Elizabeth S. Harris, one of San Antonio's top female cosmetic plastic surgeons, shares a personal side of her passion that transcends into her plastic surgery practice.

“Art is such an integral part of plastic surgery. For a plastic surgeon not to know the dimensions of the human form and the proportions and three dimensional tones gives some limitations in regard to the ability to create. In regard to my day to day life with plastic surgery I’m continually using my art background.

And I do that with every patient that I have to draw their images for: pre-operative markings, to plan what I’m going to do, and that only comes together with the ability to see three dimensionally, and to see with a structured form.” - Elizabeth S. Harris, M.D.

Testi "I consulted with several different plastic surgeons and chose the Center for Cosmetic Surgery because Dr Harris was so nice and easy to talk to. I knew that Dr. Harris had a good reputation in town and I heard excellent things about her from friends. I did not like other offices that would not let you see the doctor until you signed up for surgery or hurried you through the process.

At the Center for Cosmetic Surgery, I met Dr. Harris during the initial visit. I never felt rushed, and always felt comfortable. I am very happy with my results and I wish I had done the procedure sooner. I always brag about how talented Dr. Harris is and always recommend her to everyone. I also have a ton of compliments whenever I discuss my procedure."
