Meet Dr. Baker
Brett Baker, M.D.
Plastic Surgeon
Charlotte, NC – Huntersville and Southpark
“It is truly a privilege to be invited into patients’ lives in such an intimate and impactful way. Creatively exploring personalized surgical and non-surgical options that will achieve best possible outcome makes this work both exciting and fulfilling. It’s an honor.”
Dr. Baker grew up in western North Carolina and attended Wake Forest University for both undergraduate and medical school. During this time, he was drawn to the lifesaving interventions of general surgery. With a plan to be a trauma surgeon, he moved to Charlotte to complete his rigorous general surgery residency at CMC, now Atrium Health. During this time, Dr. Baker participated in cancer resection surgeries that ultimately led Dr. Baker to pursue plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, consistently ranked as one of the top hospitals in the country.
“I saw both the physical and psychological improvement that came from restoring natural form and function with plastic and reconstructive surgery after cancer resection or traumatic injury. It was often the psychological improvement that was the most satisfying.”
At the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Baker participated in thousands of complex plastic surgeries, including pediatric craniofacial, hand and upper extremities, rigorous microsurgical reconstruction for cancer and traumatic injuries of the head and neck, extremities, and breast. He also trained and participated in extensive cosmetic and aesthetic surgery of the face, breast, and body with some of the country’s most renowned cosmetic surgeons; including Drs. Guyuron, Zins, and Totonchi.
Training with some of the best plastic surgeons in the country, Dr. Baker gained an appreciation for the technical skill and attention to detail that separated a good from great surgical outcome in cosmetic surgery. Dr. Baker saw the impact that aesthetic procedures can have on a patient’s self-confidence.
“It’s not a ‘big ask’ to want to feel like the best version of yourself. Whether it is a rejuvenating procedure such as a face lift, a functional restoration procedure after massive weight loss, or a rhinoplasty on a youthful patient, it is the increase in self-confidence that is the most rewarding as the surgeon.”
When not in the office, Dr. Baker can be found with his wife and three boys as they rambunctiously explore team sports, water sports, fly fishing and the great outdoors.
