Experienced. Specialty-Focused. Disciplined.
Westlake Plastic Surgery is built for patients who value judgment over novelty and results over marketing. With more than 35 years of surgical experience, this is a specialty-focused practice known for safe, consistent outcomes and an uncompromising commitment to doing things the right way.
Our work centers on rhinoplasty, female breast surgery, body contouring, revision surgery, and complex cases—procedures that demand technical mastery, experience, and restraint. Surgery is performed in a surgeon-owned, in-office surgical facility that is efficiency-driven and obsessively focused on safety.
We practice a disciplined, “old-school” approach to plastic surgery: proven techniques, honest recommendations, and no gimmicks or false-hope procedures. We are not guided by trends or the “latest and greatest,” but by what reliably delivers excellent outcomes.
Patients increasingly seek refuge from bad plastic surgery stories. Many travel from across the country and internationally to work with a surgeon known for professionalism, transparency, and a stellar reputation built over decades.
“For those who understand the value of experience and trust, this is a practice worth serious consideration.”
— Dr. Robert Caridi

He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
“After decades in practice, I’ve learned that the most discerning patients aren’t looking for more marketing—they’re looking for clarity and sound judgment. My role is to provide honest guidance, help patients cut through the noise, and deliver plastic surgery at its highest level—defined by experience, discretion, and thoughtful care.”

If you want to reduce the size of your breasts, augmentation may seem counterintuitive at first. After all, you want your breasts to be smaller, right? So why add implants?
BRA, or breast reduction with augmentation, is a procedure that Westlake Plastic Surgery helped popularize. Our skillful Austin plastic surgeons use augmentation in conjunction with breast reduction surgery to reduce the overall size of the breasts while preserving shape, symmetry, and a youthful position on the body. Using augmentation gives our surgeons another tool to help craft the perfect look for your ideal image of your body.
