Arlington Plastic Surgery has been enhancing and serving folks in the Metroplex since 1978 under the direction and leadership of Dr. Joseph Stephens. Before merging with Arlington Plastic Surgery, the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Institute of Corpus Christi, created by Chili Robinson, M.D., was on a parallel course since 1983. Each practice focused on becoming an expert in the field of cosmetic surgery, with special emphasis on breast enhancement, face and eyelid lifts, liposuction, and body contouring including liposuction and tummy tucks.
Dr. Robinson and Dr. Stephens have known each other for more than 20 years and have similar values regarding patient-centered care. They both take time to know and form a relationship with each patient. Their joint philosophy is based upon honesty, open communication, and excellence in surgery. Both surgeons take great pride in remaining up to date without rushing to find “study cases”, embracing every fad that comes into this fast-moving and creative field that they love so well. They also have similar philosophies in culturing a warm and caring environment which is responsive to the emotional as well as surgical needs of the patients who entrust their care to them and the practice.
Dr. Robinson is new to the Metroplex, but not at all new to his passion. To make traveling on mission trips easier, he closed his large, well-respected practice in Corpus Christi and merged with Dr. Stephens’s practice. Dr. Robinson feels that cosmetic surgery and reconstructive mission surgery each mirror the other. They improve the outside to allow the self-image to show and shine forth. Both enhance self-esteem as well as the reflection in the mirror.
Due to his 30-year commitment to a healthy lifestyle, which allows him to kayak, water ski, bicycle and cross-country ski, Dr. Robinson feels passionately that he has something else to bring to the life-enhancing field of cosmetic surgery — commitment, leadership, and a model for teaching people to age actively and to enjoy health, a high quality of life and relationships much longer than was thought possible.
