About

Christopher K. Patronella founded True Form Plastic Surgery in Houston and co-founded The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), where he created and leads the ACPS SurgiCentre, which opened in 1997. In 1999 he also launched ACPS The Added Touch MediSpa. He has held a Clinical Professor of Surgery post with the plastic surgery program at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston since 2013, and he was president of the Houston Society of Plastic Surgeons from 2012 to 2013. He has trained in microvascular surgery, endoscopic facial surgery, face aesthetics, body contouring, and aesthetic and reconstructive breast procedures, as well as power-assisted and ultrasonic-assisted liposuction and several laser platforms. Patients seek him out for cosmetic breast surgery, and he devised the True Form Tummy Tuck and the True Form Buttock Lift. According to the practice, the True Form technique aims for a natural, seamless and refined result, and his methods were developed over 25 years. He keeps reviewing his techniques and switches to a different approach when evidence clearly favors it. Patients travel to him from abroad, and the site states that he is the plastic surgeon of choice for thousands of doctors, nurses and other professionals. His publications include a 2015 Aesthetic Surgery Journal paper on redefining abdominal anatomy in abdominoplasty. The site reports that Houston-area doctors and residents have repeatedly voted him a top cosmetic and breast surgeon in magazine polls. It also says Newsweek named him among America's Best Plastic Surgeons for 2026 in tummy tuck, facelift, breast augmentation and liposuction, that he won the 2018 Male Plastic Surgeon of the Year award from the My Face My Body Awards, and that the Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons gave him its 2015 Best Paper Award, the Fox Award.

Approach
He sets realistic goals with each patient, including a review of what a procedure can predictably achieve and where its limits lie.
