Dr. Christine Fisher is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction techniques for breast cancer patients using perforator flaps, such as DIEP flaps, and in cosmetic surgery of the breast and body. She was named a 2017 Texas Super Doctor® and a 2020 Top Doctor for Women® by Austin Monthly Magazine.

Dr. Fisher is committed to providing the same care to her patients that she would want for her own family. Her goal is to provide personalized, compassionate care while safely achieving the best possible aesthetic outcome for each patient. Her artistry and keen attention to detail combine to make this possible. She believes all patients, whether undergoing cosmetic surgery or breast reconstruction after breast cancer, deserve an optimally aesthetic outcome. At Dr. Fisher’s practice, the difference is the aesthetic.

Dr. Fisher understands that cosmetic and reconstructive surgery provide both physical and emotional wellness. She and her team aspire to empower women every day to move forward in life, confidently.

Dr. Fisher graduated medical school with honors from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to complete her training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. During her plastic surgery training, she cared for patients with breast cancer, head and neck cancer, and burn and extremity trauma, using both traditional and microsurgical reconstructive techniques to solve a spectrum of functional and aesthetic problems. She trained in microsurgical perforator flap (DIEP flap) breast reconstruction at Magee Women’s Hospital and studied microsurgical lymph node transfer to treat upper extremity lymphedema with Dr. Corrine Becker in Paris. Dr. Fisher has an affinity for the precision and artistry of plastic surgery, and its potential to help improve and restore a patient’s form, function and confidence.

Dr. Fisher won the Gold Foundation Humanism and Excellence in Teaching Award twice and the Department of Plastic Surgery teaching award three times. She has published multiple peer-reviewed articles and book chapters in topics ranging from regenerative medicine to patient safety. Following her research fellowship in regenerative medicine, she continues to have an ongoing interest in the potential applications of adipose-derived stem cells and fat grafting in soft tissue restoration.

Dr. Fisher is proud to serve on the Medical Advisory Committee for the Breast Cancer Resource Center and is a regularly invited guest speaker on topics related to breast reconstruction as well as an Art Bra® Austin sponsor. She regularly attends national breast and microsurgery meetings to stay up to date on the latest research and uses an evidence-based approach to provide optimal, state-of-the-art care.

When not in the hospital or clinic, Dr. Fisher enjoys spending time with her husband and three young children. She bakes on weekends, is energized by live music, and relaxes by jogging, swimming, going horseback riding and participating in other outdoor activities.

Patient Testimonials

"Dr. Fisher is caring and kind. I've seen how she has treated my wife through her surgery and how she has taken the time to explain what is happening. She also took the time to make sure I understood everything as well. That, along with seeing the results of her work, makes me believe she is an outstanding doctor." –Roger W.
