Dr. Wilbur Hah M.D. - Plastic Surgeon Texas
Dr. Wilbur Hah, M.D., is a highly respected figure with over 26 years of expertise in facial plastic and cosmetic surgery, serving clients across Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana. A Triple Board-Certified Surgeon, Dr. Hah holds certifications from the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, and the American Board of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, highlighting his extensive knowledge and commitment to excellence.
Recently, Dr. Hah earned the prestigious honor of being elected President of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS), a board that has been certifying safe cosmetic surgeons for over four decades. For the past 10 years, he has served as an Oral Examiner, playing a crucial role in testing and certifying other surgeons. His peers also recognized his leadership, electing him President of the American Society of Cosmetic Breast Surgery for the 2014/2015 term.
Dr. Hah is deeply invested in the advancement of cosmetic surgery, which he believes has evolved significantly over the last 15 years. No longer synonymous with general plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery has become its own specialized discipline. This distinction is important to Dr. Hah, as he exclusively practices cosmetic surgery and does not perform reconstructive procedures. His focus is on perfecting the art of aesthetic enhancement, which he considers to be a unique and separate field.
A passionate advocate for patient safety, Dr. Hah is a founding member of the Cosmetic Surgery Patient Safety Certification. His commitment to safety is reflected in every aspect of his practice. As a commercial pilot for over 20 years, Dr. Hah has seen firsthand how rigorous safety standards can transform industries, and he applies the same proactive approach to his surgical practice, making patient safety his top priority.
Dr. Hah’s expertise has earned him invitations to serve as a live surgical instructor in breast augmentation and lift procedures, thanks to his mentor, Dr. Tony Mangubat. From 2011 to 2019, Dr. Hah was a frequent lecturer and instructor at St. Louis University Medical School and the Nayak Plastic Surgery Center, where he most recently co-directed an advanced anatomical facelift workshop alongside Dr. L. Mike Nayak, one of the nation’s top facial plastic surgeons.
Before embarking on his surgical career, Dr. Hah earned degrees in economics and computer science from Austin College, followed by a graduate degree in finance from the University of Dallas. It was at the University of Texas Medical School in San Antonio where he met his wife, Dr. Marian Chen-Hah. During his time there, Dr. Hah was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, graduating with high honors and ranking #1 in his class for clinical training. He earned straight honors across multiple disciplines, from pediatrics to surgical specialties. His early work as interim research database director at the Humana International Craniofacial Institute further deepened his interest in surgical precision, focusing on the correction of craniofacial birth defects under the mentorship of world-renowned surgeon Dr. Kenneth Salyer.
Dr. Hah completed his residency in head and neck surgery and facial plastic surgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, followed by a dedicated preceptorship in facial cosmetic surgery under Dr. James English in Little Rock, Arkansas. Over the years, he has established a national reputation for meticulous work and a strong commitment to patient safety. He frequently serves on expert panels, offering his insight into liposuction, tummy tucks, breast augmentations, and facelift procedures.
To further refine his craft, Dr. Hah completed a two-year fellowship in Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Breast Augmentation, training with some of the most respected surgeons in the nation, including Dr. Peter Cheski in Beverly Hills and Dr. Gerry Edds in Kentucky. One of his most memorable mentors, Dr. Ted Eisenberg of Philadelphia, holds the Guinness World Record for the most breast augmentations performed, and greatly influenced Dr. Hah’s approach to achieving artistic, natural results.
Today, Dr. Hah exclusively dedicates his practice to cosmetic surgery, approaching each case with an artistic eye and a deep understanding of human proportions. His goal is to enhance natural beauty through advanced surgical techniques, combining precision with creativity to help clients look and feel their best.
Outside of his practice, Dr. Hah has volunteered his surgical skills on medical missions abroad, providing free reconstructive surgery for children suffering from burns, cleft lips, and other facial and body disfigurements. His work has taken him to countries like the Dominican Republic, Paraguay, and Ecuador, where he has helped countless children in need.
When he’s not in the operating room, Dr. Hah enjoys spending time with his grown daughters, reading, catching up on Netflix, and engaging in flight safety training. He’s also an avid car and airplane enthusiast, often restoring 1980s-era vehicles and aircraft with his mechanic friends.
Dr. Hah’s dedication to both his craft and his clients is clear—he views each procedure as an opportunity to merge science with artistry, ensuring that every patient walks away feeling confident and cared for.

I had an amazing experience here at Dr. Hah’s office! Him and all his team was very friendly and informative with anything I needed. It’s been a year now since my surgery and I’m loving the “new me” Dr. Hah did an amazing job and helped boost the confidence I needed in life. I’m so blessed to have put my nerves to the side and said yes to the surgery it’s been life changing for me.
Thanks so much for the years of being such an amazing doctor! When I come in it feels like family. And I always feel so special after my visits! You will be missed.
In my first few visits Dr. Hah was there and made me feel very comfortable. Also very thorough with the measurements. The staff was nice and they always were careful to keep me covered even though we were fixing to get undressed to see what we were working on. To bad the office is closing.
I came here and got a breast augmentation in July 2023 and my experience was awesome. The staff and dr. Hah are the best, they make sure you’re comfortable and always take care of you. My procedure went super smooth and I’m happy with my results. They made sure I was heard and also provided their feedback. Great office!
