About me:
Dr. Lam was raised in Dallas and finished his secondary education at Cistercian Preparatory School, where he graduated as Valedictorian. He completed his undergraduate studies at Princeton University graduating with a Cum Laude distinction, and his medical school at Baylor College of Medicine, where he received the distinction from his peers of the Bobby R. Alford Award for outstanding achievement in otolaryngology-head & neck surgery. He then trained for six years at Columbia University in head and neck surgery. After completion of his residency, he pursued a competitive post-graduate fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery in New York.
He is board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, the American Board of Otolaryngology serving the specialty of Head & Neck Surgery, and the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery. He is also a fellow member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and a fellow member of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Lam has authored over 100 scientific papers and book chapters and has had many of his articles translated into French and Spanish (both of which he speaks). He has completed work on five major textbooks, Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation (Lippincott, 2003), Cosmetic Surgery of the Asian Face (Thieme Medical Publishers, New York, NY, 2005), Complementary Fat Grafting (Lippincott, Williams, and Wilkins, Philadelphia, PA, 2006), Simplified Facial Rejuvenation (Springer Verlag, New York, NY, 2007) and Aging Face: The New Paradigm (Elsevier, Philadelphia, PA, 2009).
Dr. Lam is also the 2002 recipient of the John Orlando Roe Research Award for his work on skin rejuvenation presented to him by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Foundation. Dr. Lam has lectured over 100 times both nationally and internationally on numerous scientific topics and has been a course instructor for local, national, and international courses on the aging face as well as performed live surgical demonstrations on the latest, most advanced rejuvenation surgeries in front of hundreds of plastic surgeons.
Dr. Lam is unique in the industry for his pioneering work in creating the 27,000 square-foot Willow Bend Wellness Center from the ground up. He is an accomplished and published photographer and illustrator. He completed all of the illustrations for his three medical textbooks along with many drawings for his scientific articles and book chapters. He enjoys painting during his free time and has on display over 150 of his original paintings in the new wellness center.
