About Doctor Brian West

Doctor Brian West is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with nearly two decades of experience specializing in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. After graduating with honors from the Stanford Medical School with a Bachelor’s of Science in Medical Microbiology, Doctor West received his doctorate of medicine from the University of California at Irvine. His surgical training has included many of the finest institutions in America including Harbor-UCLA, the University of Kansas Medical Center, the Burnett Burn Center of Kansas City, the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, and the Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children-Los Angeles. He is formally trained in plastic and reconstructive surgery, pediatric plastic surgery and pediatric burn reconstruction.

Doctor West has published articles in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, (the premier journal of plastic surgery), the Journal of Pediatric Surgery, Microsurgery, Pediatric Surgery International and many other peer-reviewed journals. While in surgical training, he received a top research award from the California Society of Plastic Surgeons for work with the use of ultra sound in medicine. He served as an assistant clinical professor of plastic surgery at the University of California Davis, teaching general surgery and plastic surgery residents. He has given presentations to a wide variety of medical specialties including the American Association of Plastic Surgeons, the California Society of Plastic Surgeons, American Pediatric Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery.

Doctor West’s fascination with surgery and passion for plastic surgery encompasses working with patients of all ages, addressing both their aesthetic and reconstructive surgery needs. He is as skilled with reconstructing a baby’s cleft lip and palate as with restoring a woman’s youthful beauty with a face lift. Doctor West’s skills and talent allow him to restore a mother’s youthful abdomen and breasts after child birth or to recreate a missing breast after a loss to cancer. By applying the most modern plastic surgery techniques, he is able to give you a new self confidence with an enhanced body image, help you discover that hidden sex appeal, or restore your damaged self image. Doctor West performs facial rejuvenation with face, neck, and brow lifts, eye lid surgery, Botox injections, nose and ear surgery, collagen and fat injections, and laser resurfacing. Body contouring is accomplished via tummy tucks (anterior and circumferential), liposuction, and thigh and buttocks lifts. Breast surgeries include augmentation (saline and silicone implants), reductions and lifts. Doctor West is dedicated to achieving the results you desire with minimal scar’ surgery and the fastest recovery time possible. He focuses on giving each patient the special time and attention they need and deserve, both before and after surgery.
