As a woman, Dr. McLaughlin has the unique ability to comprehend the concerns of females and their interest in rejuvenation of the face and body. While she is trained in all facets of cosmetic, reconstructive and craniofacial surgery, special interest lies in pediatric plastic surgery. Dr. McLaughlin was the first female plastic surgeon to establish a practice in Fort Worth and her ability to communicate with her patients on a more personal level is a popular attribute. Having completed her training within the past 5 years, she is accustomed to the most current procedures, techniques and technologies.

Office

Dr. Emily McLaughlin founded West Magnolia Plastic Surgery in 2004 in a refurbished office space on West Magnolia Avenue.

Her vision helped to created a sexy and relaxing atmosphere, staffed entirely by women, to combat the intimidation and awkwardness often associated with a doctor’s visit.

Now open at West Magnolia Plastic Surgery is a state-of-the-art operating suite. Patients will now be able to enjoy not only extra pampering (comfy slippers, pretty gowns, soft blankets) but also the familiarity of Dr. McLaughlin’s regular staff, all with the added convenience and privacy that go with being able to have your procedure completed on-site.

Dr. McLaughlin offers full-scope cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, both surgical and noninvasive. She has a special interest in pediatric plastic surgery and skincare.

We are located in the historic Max Mehl building in Fort Worth, Texas. The building was constructed in the 1920s by B. Max Mehl, the foremost neumismatist in the world at that time with coin collections prepared for Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt and Amon Carter, among others. The building was completely restored in 2006.

Upon arriving in our office you will meet Becca Fuller, Office Administrator. Permanent makeup can lift your eyes by shaping your eyebrows beautifully. Permanent Makeup by Kay Alexander.

Qualifications

Dr. McLaughlin attended medical school at East Tennessee State University where she was elected a member of Alpha Omega Alpha medical honorary. She completed a General Surgery residency at the Medical College of Georgia. During that time, she completed an elective year of research studying craniofacial growth and development. Upon presenting her research nationwide, she was awarded the Hardesty award at the annual meeting of the Plastic Surgery Research Council.

She remained at the Medical College of Georgia to complete a Plastic Surgery residency. Her training then continued in Dallas, Texas, where she completed a Craniofacial Surgery fellowship at Medical City Dallas Hospital. The scope of this training was predominately pediatric reconstructive surgery which offered a more extensive pediatric plastic surgery experience than general plastic surgery training. Upon completing her fellowship, she was faced with the difficult decision to either relocate from the Dallas-Fort Worth area and pursue a Craniofacial practice or remain in Texas and establish a general Plastic Surgery practice...having elected to stay in Texas was the best decision she ever made.
