Meet Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Carlos Burnett

Get to Know the Leader of Burnett Plastic Surgery in Westfield, NJ

"I love my work, and it has been an honor to be a part of each of my patients' lives."

Choosing your cosmetic surgeon in Westfield, NJ, involves more than just finding a skilled professional who can explain the details of procedures and treatments. They must be someone who cares about who you are and the life you lead. Someone you can trust to help you realize your surgery goals.

Dr. Carlos Burnett has earned the trust of his patients by listening. From the very first visit, you will experience his warm, honest, and caring approach. Our Westfield cosmetic surgeon takes the time to get to know you, answer your questions, and understand your concerns about how you look and feel. He believes this is the "secret" to achieving a positive outcome—and the reason he consistently delivers the results his patients desire*.

Meticulously Focused on Detail

A perfectionist by nature, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Burnett has an innate appreciation of elegance and style. His mother was a seamstress who instilled in him the "soft touch" skills his patients know and love. His meticulous focus on detail shows in the quality of his work as well as the one-on-one attention he gives his patients.

Dr. Burnett specializes in rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), breast augmentation, and body contouring, as well as facial aesthetics and injectables. Although he has provided surgical solutions to cosmetic issues for thousands of patients, he is committed to conservative care. As a cosmetic surgeon, he believes that surgery may not be the best choice in every situation and often explores non-surgical options for achieving results.*

While some doctors stick with one technique or procedure, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Burnett's passion for learning fuels his search for more efficient and effective ways to achieve the best possible results. Through continuous education and the use of cutting-edge technology, he works to improve his knowledge and techniques with the goal of ultimately benefitting you, his patient.

In 2015, Dr. Burnett was one of 100 doctors in the nation selected for the prestigious RealSelf 100 Award. He is proud and grateful to have been chosen from the nearly 13,000 board-certified specialists with a presence in this dynamic online community, which has revolutionized the medical community by empowering potential patients to interact directly with the cosmetic surgeons they are considering for procedures.
