He then returned to practice Otorhinolaryngology in his home town of Natchitoches, Louisiana until 1983, when he returned to Houston to advance his medical training, again at Baylor College of Medicine. Here he completed his Houston Plastic Surgeon Residency training. He became Board Certified in Plastic Surgery the following year and remained in Houston to establish his practice, electing to stay in The Texas Medical Center and locate in The Scurlock Tower Medical Professional Building.
