Meet Suma Maddox, MD

click here to request an appointment

Dr. Suma Maddox is a double-board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Maddox began her training with a bachelor's degree in neuroscience from New York University and an MD from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans, followed by a residency in general surgery at Brown University. Originally from Houma, Louisiana, Dr. Maddox returned to her home state in 2014 to work as a general and breast surgeon at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans. 

Her four years as a staff surgeon were pivotal in inspiring her to seek out more creativity in her career. Realizing her talent for oncoplastic breast surgery, in which cancer is removed and the breast artistically reconstructed for optimal aesthetic results, Dr. Maddox decided to pursue a new path of plastic surgery. After nine years as a general surgeon, she made the uncommon decision to resume training with a three-year fellowship at Louisiana State University in plastic and reconstructive surgery, focusing on microsurgery and breast cancer reconstruction.
