"My medical philosophy is to simply treat others how I would want to be treated.  My goal is to provide personal, informative and open interaction to help guide patients in this process.  Whether restoring form and function or enhancing one’s existing attributes, I look forward to creating a supportive and positive experience."

As a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Steven Gordon provides aesthetic procedures for the breast, body, and face, as well as reconstructive surgery to restore form or function. With extensive training, including a residency in plastic surgery and a fellowship in reconstructive hand surgery, Dr. Gordon is able to offer exceptional and long-lasting results for his patients. Through individualized care and advanced technology, he creates the appropriate treatment plan and can help you visualize your expected results. Dr. Gordon's goal is to help you look and feel your best while having a comfortable, positive experience at Houston Methodist.

Dr. Gordon is skilled in performing numerous procedures to enhance the breast, body, and face. His artistic eye and diligent planning allow him to customize a surgical plan and keep you informed every step of the way. With reconstructive needs, Dr. Gordon strives to create an effective treatment plan to address the problem and still optimize the aesthetic appearance. He underwent extensive training in breast reconstruction and complex wound care.  He offers advanced breast reconstruction options, including DIEP/SIEA flap, breast ReSensation, high volume fat grafting, direct-to-implant, and post-mastectomy pain treatment.

In addition to plastic and reconstructive procedures, Dr. Gordon underwent further specialization to treat conditions that affect the hands and wrists, such as arthritis, carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome, trigger fingers, Dupuytren’s contracture, fractures and tendon injuries. Dr. Gordon has a particular interest in complex peripheral nerve cases and is one of a few doctors in the Greater Houston, TX area to perform targeted muscle reinnervation and regenerative peripheral nerve interface surgery for amputee patients. These are groundbreaking nerve surgeries to prevent or eliminate residual limb pain and are for both upper and lower extremity amputations.
