Meet Dr. Ehanire

Tosan Ehanire, MD, MHS

Form, Function, and Family

Dr. Tosan Ehanire is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose approach to the surgical art is shaped by a unique blend of heritage, elite academic training, and deep clinical empathy.

Her artistic eye is deeply personal. Raised in a family lineage connected to the historic Igun bronze-casting guild of Benin, Nigeria (master artisans who sculpted for royal courts for centuries), Dr. Ehanire learned early in life to view the pursuit of aesthetic beauty as a challenge that required intense effort and knowledge to accomplish. This familial appreciation for balance, proportion, and structural harmony directly informs her surgical technique today.

Clinically, Dr. Ehanire stands out for her dual expertise in both complex microvascular reconstruction and refined aesthetic surgery. Having completed medical school and general surgery training at Duke University, Master of Health Science at Johns Hopkins, and her plastic surgery residency at the University of Florida, her foundation is as rigorous as it is prestigious. Rather than viewing reconstruction and aesthetics as separate disciplines, she recognizes that each enhances the other.

Recognized as a Texas Super Doctors Rising Star for three consecutive years (2024–2026), Dr. Ehanire is also an authority on scar physiology. Her published research into wound healing mechanisms allows her to walk her patients through evidence-based scar protocols tailored for all skin complexions, giving every patient complete peace of mind throughout recovery.
