Ricardo M. Bonnor, MD, FACS

Double Board-Certified Cosmetic & Bariatric Surgeon in Houston, Texas 20+ Years Serving Houston · 10,000+ Procedures Performed · Dr. Ricardo M. Bonnor, MD, FACS's path to becoming one of Houston's most distinguished surgeons was shaped by an insight he formed during his training in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery. He discovered he could perform complex procedures through small cosmetic incisions, making laparoscopic surgery the cosmetics of general surgery. It demanded precision, skill, and artistry to achieve outcomes that once required open operations. That insight became the philosophical thread connecting his origins in laparoscopic surgery to his artistry in cosmetic surgery. After guiding patients through bariatric surgery and watching them achieve life-changing weight loss, Dr. Bonnor saw a gap. The internal changes from weight loss are profound, but significant weight loss also leaves behind external changes. Completing a fellowship in cosmetic body contouring surgery was the natural extension of his commitment to completing the transformation inside and out. A native Houstonian, Ricardo M. Bonnor, MD, FACS, has served his community for over 20 years, with a reputation for surgical excellence and compassionate care. As one of the few surgeons in Houston double board-certified in both cosmetic and bariatric surgery, he offers patients something rare: a complete transformation journey under one roof.
