Dr. Harrison also offers a wide range of aesthetic services, including facial cosmetic surgery, body contouring, scar revision and non-surgical treatments such as injectables and dermal fillers. His approach is grounded in precision, compassion and a commitment to helping patients feel confident and comfortable in their own skin.
Dr. Harrison earned his medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and completed his plastic surgery residency at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.
