Dr. Olivier Deigni
Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon · ABPS Certified
I am a rocket scientist who became a plastic surgeon and this decision surprised a lot of people, as you can imagine. I switched to medicine because I wanted to work with people on an individual basis. I wanted to be in the room, accountable to one person at a time. Plastic surgery gave me that, and it gave me something else I did not expect: the chance to operate on every part of the body. That breadth is rare. I love it.
From aerospace engineering to aesthetic surgery.
I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees in aerospace engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. After working at NASA Johnson Space Center here in Houston, I made the switch to medicine and completed my medical degree and Master of Public Health at Emory University in Atlanta.
Plastic surgery residency followed at Saint Louis University School of Medicine in St. Louis. From there I returned to Houston for two fellowships: microvascular reconstructive surgery at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, and aesthetic plastic surgery at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery. Two fellowships after residency is not the standard path. I took it because that combination is rare and I wanted both: the technical depth of a reconstructive surgeon and the aesthetic judgment to know what a result should look like from every angle.
That foundation is reflected in the practice I run today. I am board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, and an active member of The Aesthetic Society and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. My patients have trusted me with over 168 five-star reviews across Houston and beyond, and my work has been featured on Great Day Houston.
I also speak French, which has opened doors to caring for patients from West Africa and the French-speaking world alongside my Houston practice.
Recognized. Certified. Trusted.
