Rocco Piazza

The Piazza Center in Austin, Texas was founded by Rocco Piazza, a board-certified plastic surgeon. He has run a private practice there since 2010, a span of 16 years. His board certification comes from the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and he holds Fellowship with the American College of Surgeons. He studied medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, completed his plastic surgery residency at Michigan State University, and holds a bachelor's degree from Baylor University. Beyond those, he has added preceptorships and courses in Costa Rica, Belgium, San Francisco, Stockholm, New Jersey and Chicago, covering breast implants, facelift technique, fat transfer and breast reconstruction. In September 2025 he was chosen for the U.S. Surgeon Cohort for the Preservé launch, and he is one of three plastic surgeons leading Motiva's Austin pilot program. He was among the first U.S. surgeons to use the Ergonomix implant, adopting it in fall 2024. He has published in plastic surgery literature and speaks to fellow surgeons as a nationally known speaker on aesthetic approaches to breast reconstruction. He also took part in the Tuberous Breast Deformity Study, which evaluated 375 consecutive patients seeking breast enhancement surgery. His practice focuses on cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. Breast augmentation is a core focus, with interest in anatomically shaped implants. He applies Breast Tissue Preservation principles, using a small incision in the fold under the breast and sterile, no-touch implant placement. Tummy tuck, breast lift, liposuction and mommy makeover are among procedures he enjoys, and body contouring, especially the tummy tuck, is his area of expertise. Other listed work includes rhinoplasty, facelift, facial scar revision and men's body contouring. He tracks patient outcomes and uses that data to guide hyperpigmentation treatment plans, and he uses advanced 3D skin imaging to assess skin health. He treats patients from across Texas and beyond, and keeps combined surgery under six hours in total, since longer operations raise the risk of complications. Austin Monthly named him a Top Doctor for 2025, Austin Fit Magazine gave him Best Cosmetic Surgeon for 2016, 2018 and 2019, and RealSelf granted Top Doctor status in 2014 and 2016. Super Doctors listed him among Texas Rising Stars in 2014, and he appeared as a Top 5 Most Likeable Doctor in New York in 2012. He is one of Austin's top-rated plastic surgeons.
