Ricardo A. Meade, M.D.

Dr. Meade is dedicated to staying abreast of the very latest techniques and procedures available in the field of cosmetic surgery.   He remains actively involved in education in cosmetic surgery by teaching plastic surgeons in training.  He serves as director of the resident cosmetic clinic at Baylor Hospital and holds a faculty teaching position at the UT Southwestern plastic surgery residency program.

His interest in the field began doing research in Plastic Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.  From there, he continued his education at Duke University in North Carolina. Trained in both general surgery and plastic surgery, his passion remained in cosmetic surgery. Upon completion of his residency at Duke, he chose to refine his skills in the art of cosmetic surgery by completing an Aesthetic Surgery fellowship at The University of Texas Southwestern at Dallas.

Throughout his career, Dr. Meade has also enjoyed helping the less fortunate. He has participated in several medical missions, one of which lasted an entire year in the underserved communities in Mexico.  Whether performing reconstructive surgery on breast cancer survivors, or helping children with facial deformities, Dr. Meade feels great satisfaction with helping those in need.
