Name: Tosan Ehanire, MD

Statement: Dr. Ehanire’s appreciation for the human form and three-dimensional art was born in her home country of Nigeria, where her family belongs to a centuries-old artisanal guild of bronze casters. They created the renowned Benin Bronzes of the Benin Kingdom in southern Nigeria, now found in museums all over the world. Dr. Ehanire attributes her naturally artistic eye to this heritage, as these bronze figures, busts and masks were an everyday influence during her childhood. Dr. Ehanire’s plastic surgery practice allows her to draw connections between her family’s craft and creating natural-looking results that restore form and function of the breast and body.

Name: Christine Fisher, MD, FACS

Statement: Dr. Christine Fisher is a board-certified plastic surgeon, fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and clinical assistant professor of surgery and perioperative care at the University of Texas Dell Medical School in Austin, Texas. She specializes in cosmetic surgery of the breast and body, as well as implant-based and living tissue breast reconstruction for breast cancer patients at Austin Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. In her eight years of practice, she has performed more than 1,500 DIEP flap reconstructions and more than 2,000 microvascular breast reconstructions with a greater than 99% success rate.

Experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate, Dr. Fisher believes that cosmetic and reconstructive surgery should provide both physical and emotional wellness.

“I’m not here to tell the patient what ‘needs’ to be ‘fixed,’” says Dr. Fisher. “I’m here to listen to the patient, and to translate that into a safe plan that will optimize the aesthetic outcome. Whether I’m reconstructing a breast due to breast cancer, or performing a mommy makeover for a selfless mom who’s given birth, breastfed, and raised children, I look at it the same way: I am the patient’s quality-of-life surgeon. I am so glad I’ve chosen this path in life. I can’t imagine not doing it, and I’m grateful for the whole experience. I always tell my patients, ‘Thank you for letting me be your doctor.’ I love those moments where we get to high-five over what a beautiful and natural-looking result they have.”

Dr. Fisher received her medical school degree with honors from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. She then completed an integrated plastic surgery residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. There, she won the Gold Foundation Humanism and Excellence in Teaching Award twice and the Department of Plastic Surgery teaching award three times.

During this same period, she studied the applications of adipose-derived stem cells and fat grafting in soft tissue restoration as a research fellow at the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM) and trained in microsurgical perforator flap (DIEP flap) breast reconstruction at Magee-Womens Hospital.

Elected by her peers to be included on Texas Monthly’s Texas Super Doctors: Rising Stars list, Dr. Fisher regularly earns recognition for her outstanding contributions to cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Fisher is proud to serve on the Medical Advisory Committee for the Breast Cancer Resource Center and to be a sponsor of Art Bra, a charity that raises money for women affected by breast cancer.
