Renaissance MAN
THE TRANSFORMATIVE TOUCH OF DR . JEFF ANGOBALDO , MD BY SONDRA BARR
Renowned Texas plastic surgeon Jeff Angobaldo is in demand for the artistry he brings to the operating room . Dr . Angobaldo , or “ Dr . Plano ” as his patients enthusiastically call him , has earned a reputation for surgical excellence and is one of the most sought-after mommy makeover and breast specialists in the area .
Dr . Angobaldo has an impressive breadth and depth of skills and experience . The board-certified plastic surgeon is also a perfectionist and is well known for going to great lengths to create beautiful , natural-looking outcomes for each of his patients .
Since opening Renaissance Plastic Surgery , a full service cosmetic and reconstructive surgery center in Plano 14 years ago , Dr . Angobaldo and his highly qualified team have created a relaxing oasis where patients know they ’ ll receive personalized care and exceptional results .
“ I like the art and architecture from the Renaissance period ,” explains Dr . Angobaldo . His practice evokes a similarly beautiful , calming , welcoming environment throughout .
Growing up , Dr . Angobaldo was good with his hands . He gravitated toward science at a young ago and always had aspirations to be a doctor . After graduating from the University of Michigan , where biochemistry was his favorite class , Dr . Angobaldo graduated with distinction from the University of Michigan Medical School in 2002 and completed a residency in plastic surgery in 2008 at Wake Forest University .
“ Plastic surgery I thought was fantastic because I was very artistic and it blends a lot of artistry with surgery ,” explains Dr . Angobaldo of his decision to become a plastic surgeon . He also points to his ability to make complex decisions under pressure as an important factor in his success as a surgeon .
“ When you ’ re doing a breast lift or reduction , you ’ re matching one side to the other , which is always difficult . The ability to think of a plan intraoperatively is essential . We always create a plan pre-op before surgery but when you ’ re actually doing the surgery , a lot of unexpected things can occur ,” he says .
“ If you ’ re dealing with someone who ’ s asymmetrical , one breast being bigger than the other or one nipple being more displaced laterally than the other , you ’ re doing a lot of thinking in the operating room . That ’ s really what I enjoy , the ability to think of solutions quickly to solve problems .”
Breast surgery is one of the most complex surgeries , according to Dr . Angobaldo . He points to one of his more challenging cases to explain the artistry and level of expertise needed to achieve a positive result .
“ One of the tougher cases I did was for a girl who was 18 . She was born with virtually no breast on one side and a D cup on the left . In that case , we had a reduction with a small implant and we also did an implant on the breast that had no tissue ,” he explains .
Dr . Angobaldo is often tasked with breast revisions from other doctors . Rectifying the work other surgeons have performed for a patient ’ s ultimate satisfaction is a point of pride for Dr . Angobaldo . “ That gives us the edge , the ability to have consistently good results ,” he says .
