He is the president of the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, a state-of-the-art practice that is dedicated to providing the highest quality plastic surgical services in a warm, caring environment.

Dr. Burns specializes in breast augmentation (with both implants and fat transfer), liposuction, tummy tucks and other surgical body contouring, and complete mommy makeovers. Recognized by D Magazine as one of the best plastic surgeons in the city, he believes that a person’s natural beauty should be enhanced, not altered.

Outside of his private practice, Dr. Burns is a clinical instructor of plastic surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Department of Plastic Surgery and is involved with the Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship Program at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute.

Whenever possible, Dr. Burns uses his surgical expertise to give back. He serves on the Board of Directors and as a contributing surgeon for the Share-A-Smile Foundation, a non-profit that treats uninsured children with vascular anomalies.

Name: Bryan Armijo, MD

Statement: Dr. Bryan Armijo is a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Dallas, Texas. With over 15 years in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Armijo’s primary area of expertise is breast reconstruction surgery, including autologous flap reconstruction. He also specializes in breast enhancement surgery, tummy tucks, liposuction, and mommy makeovers at his locations in Dallas, Allen, and Rowlett. And he frequently performs surgical body contouring procedures, for patients who have had significant weight loss.

Patients also come to his fully accredited, state-of-the-art facility in Dallas, the EpiCentre Skin Care and Laser Center, for nonsurgical cosmetic treatments ranging from dermal fillers, Botox, and Kybella to laser skin resurfacing, and microneedling.

Dr. Armijo’s ultimate goal is to help his patients find hope, self-confidence, and a sense of well-being during what may be a challenging time in their lives. At a young age, Dr. Armijo became acutely aware of how surgery not only heals a person’s body, but also improves their lives on an emotional level by helping them to feel like their best selves. Having family members who are breast cancer survivors has helped Dr. Armijo to understand at a visceral level just how powerful an impact reconstructive surgery can have on a patient’s life.

After earning his Bachelor’s degree in human nutrition from Arizona State University and his medical degree at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Dr. Armijo decided to undergo training to become a reconstructive breast surgeon.
