Precision, artistry, and a genuine commitment to results that look like you — only better.
Choosing a plastic surgeon is one of the most personal decisions you'll make. I want you to feel completely informed, comfortable, and confident before we ever meet in person.
In this short video I'll introduce myself, share a bit about my philosophy, and walk you through what you can expect when you come in for a consultation. My approach is straightforward: I take the time to understand your goals, I give you an honest assessment, and I only recommend surgery when I genuinely believe it's the right choice for you.
I look forward to meeting you.

Dr. Andre Y. Levesque, MD
Board-Certified Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
Austin, TX
Dr. Andre Y. Levesque, MD is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon serving Austin, Texas. He earned a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin before earning his medical degree at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. He matched directly from medical school into the integrated plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at Albany Medical Center — at the time one of fewer than 100 such positions nationwide — completing six years of dedicated training. He then refined his aesthetic skills in a fellowship under Dr. James Grotting in Birmingham, Alabama — an Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship endorsed by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), one of the most respected additional credentials in the field. He has held faculty positions at both Albany Medical College and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and trained with Dr. Alfredo Hoyos in Bogotá — the pioneer of hi-definition liposuction.
In independent practice since 2013, Dr. Levesque founded Levesque Plastic Surgery in Austin in 2018 with a clear focus: to offer high-level, academically grounded plastic surgery in a setting that feels personal, unhurried, and deeply patient-centered. He sees every patient himself; every surgical procedure is performed by or appropriately supervised by Dr. Levesque, and he stays personally involved through every stage of your care.
His clinical focus is facial rejuvenation — particularly the deep plane facelift, which he has refined and performed hundreds of times. He is one of a small number of surgeons offering the wide-awake deep plane facelift under local anesthesia, a technique that eliminates general anesthesia risks and is associated with faster recovery and less postoperative bruising.
Beyond facial surgery, Dr. Levesque performs the full spectrum of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, including breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, rhinoplasty, and eyelid surgery. He also offers non-surgical treatments including BOTOX, dermal fillers, and advanced skin resurfacing.
Dr. Levesque has published peer-reviewed research in journals including the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, Facial Plastic Surgery, and the Canadian Journal of Plastic Surgery, and authored chapters in the surgical reference Problems in Breast Surgery: A Repair Manual (Fisher & Handel, eds.) — his selected publications and presentations are listed below. He consistently earns five-star reviews across Google and RealSelf. He is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and the Texas Medical Association (TMA).
He lives and practices in Austin, where he spent his formative years and attended the University of Texas — and where he remains committed to providing the Austin community with the caliber of surgical care typically found only in major cosmopolitan centers.
Every operation I perform serves one purpose: that you walk away feeling confident and free in your own skin — not "done," not someone else, but yourself, at your most at-ease. Whether you're a mother reclaiming her body after children, someone who wants to look as vital as they feel, or a person finally letting go of something they've carried for years, that freedom is what I'm working toward.
Getting there rests on three promises. I'll give you honest counsel — telling you when surgery is the right answer and when it isn't; I have turned patients away when I didn't believe I could give them what they wanted. I aim for natural results that look like you at your best, never overdone. And I use the advanced techniques that make those results possible and lasting. Nothing more than you need; nothing less than you deserve.
I operate at the structural level of the face and body — repositioning, not just tightening. Results look natural because they are anatomically correct, not because we pulled the skin.
My wide-awake local anesthesia approach isn't just a selling point — it reflects a genuine commitment to minimizing risk. General anesthesia carries real risks. If we can avoid it safely, we should.
I see you at every consultation. Every surgical procedure is performed by me or under my appropriate supervision, and your postoperative care is always with me. You are my patient, not a file.
Alongside a busy surgical practice, Dr. Levesque has contributed to the plastic surgery literature — publishing peer-reviewed research, authoring textbook chapters, and presenting at national and international meetings. A selection of that work is below.

Levesque Plastic Surgery is a boutique, single-surgeon practice in northwest Austin. We intentionally limit our volume so that every patient receives the time, attention, and personal follow-through they deserve.
Our private surgical suite is accredited and equipped for in-office procedures under local anesthesia with oral sedation. Dr. Levesque also holds full privileges at multiple Austin hospitals and an accredited surgery center, so every procedure is matched with the anesthesia it requires. You will never be seen at a large clinic or redirected to another provider.
Levesque Plastic Surgery is a small, family-owned business — not a chain, not a corporate group. Austin is home: Dr. Levesque spent his formative years here and studied at the University of Texas, and he built this practice to give his own community the caliber of surgical care you’d otherwise travel to a major coastal city to find.
That family-first outlook shapes how we treat people. Many of our patients are neighbors, friends, and the family of friends, and we care for everyone who walks through our door the way we’d want our own family treated — with honesty, patience, and follow-through that lasts long after surgery.
We’re also proud to give back to our neighborhood Austin ISD schools, sponsoring Hill Elementary, Kealing Middle School, and Anderson High School — and we encourage you to support their PTAs, too.
Consultations are completely personal — just you and Dr. Levesque, with no obligation and no pressure. Bring your questions, your concerns, your photos. Leave with a clear plan and an honest assessment.
