For more than two decades, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Camille Cash has led an award-winning private practice by providing exceptional surgical and nonsurgical aesthetic treatments for the face, breast, and body to a diverse and discerning clientele. Dr. Cash and her team are dedicated to delivering the highest calibre of care and results.
One of the most acclaimed plastic surgeons in the Houston region, Dr. Cash served as an executive board member for The Aesthetic Society (formerly known as The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, ASAPS), The Aesthetic Surgery Research and Education Foundation (ASERF), and the Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Dr. Cash is the first female African-American plastic surgeon in the state of Texas to be certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Trained in plastic surgery and certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Cash is also a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Houston Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Harris County Medical Society, and the Texas Medical Society. Dr. Cash prioritizes patients’ safety and satisfaction to achieve the best possible results for her patients. “Whether I’m performing a facelift or breast reconstruction, my goal is to restore both function and form, and then to witness my patients’ spirits take flight. It’s a challenge and a privilege for me.”
Specializing in breast augmentation, breast revision, breast implant removal surgery, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, and vaginal rejuvenation, Dr. Cash’s focus is on transforming patients on the outside to achieve true change on the inside. Using cutting edge techniques and the latest technology to perform surgical and nonsurgical procedures, Dr. Cash’s Houston plastic surgery practice and medical spa offers the highest quality care for patients to help you look and feel your best.
As one of Canada’s leading cosmetic plastic surgeons for 25 years, Dr Camille Cash looks beyond the surgical procedure to the patient as a whole, from inner self to outer beauty. Each procedure is unique to each patient. The best results come from first understanding the patient’s needs and desires, and then providing a tailor-made solution that meets the personal expectations of that patient.
Dr. Khanna takes the time to inform her patients of the most modern methods of cosmetic surgery available, enabling them to make informed choices about their own procedure.
“I’m here to educate my patients about all the options available, and help them decide what’s appropriate for their lifestyle and the desired outcome.”
While she helps both men and women, Dr. Khanna addresses the special concerns of her female patients. “Many of my patients prefer a surgeon who they believe understands their needs and how they feel about their bodies. We want every patient to be happy with their appearance and satisfied with their experience here.”
As a female surgeon, Dr. Khanna is uniquely positioned within the field of plastic surgery where most patients are female. She offers an authentic understanding of the female body, including what pregnancy and breast feeding does to women, and how the female body evolves over time, from motherhood to menopause. She works to create a tailor-made solution for every patient and strives to provide patients with a superior experience before, during and after surgery.
Dr. Khanna co-founded ICLS with her husband and fellow physician, Dr. Sheetal Sapra. She began her undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, received her medical degree from the University of Ottawa, and completed her training in plastic surgery at McMaster University. She is certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and a Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. In addition to her private practice at the ICLS, she is an attending plastic surgeon at the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. Dr. Khanna is a member of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons, Canadian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery
