Trusted Plastic Surgeon in Sugar Land, TX
With over two decades of experience in medicine, I established my practice in 2017 to bring specialized reconstructive and cosmetic surgical expertise to the community. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I completed microsurgery fellowship training at MD Anderson Cancer Center, where I honed advanced techniques in complex reconstruction. My career spans nearly a decade as faculty at MD Anderson, mentoring future medical leaders and directing educational programs. I hold multiple leadership roles in professional societies, including President of the Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons, and have authored over 60 peer-reviewed articles. Recognized by peers as one of America's top 5% Best Doctors since 2012, I prioritize patient education and personalized care.My practice combines technical precision with compassionate service, offering both reconstructive solutions for cancer patients and aesthetic enhancements for men and women. I maintain active involvement in national medical societies and have developed educational resources to empower patients in decision-making. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my academic achievements, including graduating summa cum laude from Arizona State University and with distinction from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill medical school.

Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores natural breast shape after mastectomy or trauma. Our specialized techniques create balanced, natural-looking results tailored to individual anatomy. Patients receive comprehensive guidance through implant-based or autologous tissue reconstruction options.
BOTOX & Fillers
Non-surgical facial rejuvenation using BOTOX and dermal fillers reduces wrinkles and restores volume. Customized treatment plans address individual aging patterns. Our expertise ensures natural, refreshed appearances without overcorrection.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles for a flatter profile. We address post-pregnancy changes and weight loss effects. Combined liposuction enhances body contouring outcomes for improved self-confidence.
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses facial aging by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Our techniques produce natural, youthful results that respect individual facial expressions. Patients experience rejuvenated appearances with long-lasting effects.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to enhance body shape. We employ advanced techniques for smooth, even results while preserving skin integrity. Targeted areas include abdomen, thighs, arms, and other common problem zones.

Dr. Crosby is very sweet, however I was not pleased with the filler she injected in my lips. My lips dont look different at all. I believe she injected the filler behind my lips. She also used a cannula to inject first but it bursted all over me and she didnt clean it up off my face and neck.. this was my first time getting lip fillers and I wish it was a better experience. She did make sure I was comfortable, but I dont think she specializes in lips. I also got Botox and one side still hasnt evened out. I emailed the office manager and she said if I still wasnt happy in a few days

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 39 and needed to have a mastectomy but elected to have a double mastectomy to decrease my chances of re-occurrence. Through the planning and reconstruction process, Dr. Crosby was FANTASTIC to work with. She was compassionate, comforting and knowledgeable. The results that she was able to achieve for my re-construction are nothing short of AMAZING! I have referred friends and family to her and am happy to report that they all share my opinion of Dr. Crosby. God knew what he was doing when he placed her in my life.
