NEW ORLEANS, LA — Dr. C. Bob Basu has taken office as president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the world’s largest association of board-certified plastic surgeons. His one-year term began on October 12 during the organization’s annual scientific meeting in New Orleans.

Based in Houston, Dr. Basu heads Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery and has performed more than 18,000 procedures over his career. As ASPS president, he said he plans to use technology — including artificial intelligence — to improve how the Society serves its 11,000 members worldwide, offering more tailored education and professional resources.

“Our goal is to maintain the highest standards in training, ethics, and patient care while helping the public understand the importance of choosing board-certified surgeons,” Dr. Basu said. He noted that as demand for cosmetic procedures rises, patient safety will remain a key focus.

Dr. Basu has held leadership roles within ASPS for nearly two decades. As the Society’s Vice President of Finance and Treasurer, he helped guide it through the COVID-19 pandemic and oversaw four years of record financial performance. He has also been active in shaping health policy and advancing surgical education.

A graduate of Princeton University, Dr. Basu earned his medical and public health degrees from Tufts University and an MBA from Brandeis University. He completed his plastic surgery residency at Baylor College of Medicine’s Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery.
