Dr. Suma Maddox, a female double board-certified plastic surgeon in New Orleans specializing in reconstructive breast surgery and aesthetic surgery, prides herself on a doctor-client relationship atypical in the industry, one that shifts power into the client’s hands. Dr. Maddox’s career began by earning a bachelor’s degree from New York University, a medical degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans, and finally a residency in general surgery at Brown University. Spending four years as a staff surgeon shifted her perspective on her career and inspired her to seek more creativity in her work. Realizing her talent for oncoplastic breast surgery, Dr. Maddox returned to her hometown of New Orleans and decided to open her own practice to offer an alternative to the largely male-dominated and sterile world of plastic surgery.

Becoming a double board certified plastic surgeon is no simple task. The distinction demonstrates a commitment to excellence in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, requiring years of effort and study. After training, surgeons must pass demanding examinations assessing their knowledge, skills, and expertise. Dr. Maddox made the uncommon choice to forgo her previous career and devote herself to further study in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Upon completion of a three-year fellowship at Louisiana State University, she had acquired the skills and knowledge to best serve her New Orleans clientele.

With a perspective that values empathy above all else, Dr. Maddox provides a comforting environment for her clients, encouraging them to be open and honest about their long term goals for their procedures. A mother of three, Dr. Maddox understands the joys and challenges that motherhood brings, which inevitably include battle scars, love scars, and stretch marks. She prides herself on creating a judgment-free space where women are invited to slow down and openly explore the details they want to see. Clients know they can entrust themselves and their bodies to Dr. Maddox for the highest quality care and world class results.
