r. Malena Amato, featured center, founded Eyelid & Facial Plastic Surgery Associates in Austin with a mission to treat all patients and staff the way she would treat her own family. While her prestigious medical training at Georgetown University and Stanford University enabled her to achieve excellence as a surgeon in her field, having her own family gave her a new perspective on the importance of compassionate care. She believes this begins with building a team who shares her mission while supporting and empowering each other. Behind Amato stands a friendly team of hard-working moms, wives and daughters that successfully balances family and work, further enhancing the patient experience. Amato is board-certified and completed a two-year fellowship in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery. She is adjunct faculty at Dell Medical School and has been in practice for 18 years. malenaamatomd.com
