Dr. Austen prides himself on his ability to consistently deliver outstanding surgical outcomes while also providing the highest quality patient care. He conducts thorough personal consultations with all of his patients whereby he reviews their medical histories and learns about their aesthetic goals and needs. Dr. Austen then describes all available treatment options, including a discussion of their projected outcomes and possible complications, and helps his patients select the most suitable procedures. This comprehensive approach reduces patient anxiety and helps create realistic expectations, which lead to a more satisfying treatment experience.

In order to ensure patient safety and comfort, Dr. Austen performs all procedures at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). As Massachusetts' only Magnet Hospital, this institution boasts an exceptional nursing staff devoted to the highest quality care. Many procedures are completed in our same-day-surgical suite, however, for those patients who require an overnight hospital stay, Dr. Austen's office is happy to arrange accommodations at the Massachusetts General Hospital Phillips House (MGH's specialized inpatient center), a luxurious facility offering world-class medical care in the privacy and comfort of a first-class hotel.

Dr. Austen's exceptional education and experience allow him to confidently perform a variety of sophisticated cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures. These include a range of breast treatments, such as breast augmentation, lift and reconstruction; various other body contouring procedures, including liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and arm and thigh lifts; and all facial aesthetic and rejuvenation treatments, such as facelift, neck lift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, facial implants, and rhinoplasty (nose surgery). In addition, Dr. Austen specializes in microsurgery, craniofacial, and revision cosmetic surgery.
