Enter Houston-based physician Steven J. Cyr, who grew up in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., and knew he wanted to be a doctor at just four years old. His long medical journey, which led to specializing in spine surgery, began with top honors, graduating Summa Cum Laude and as a valedictorian with a biology degree from Southwest Texas State University.
“I played college football, and due to an injury, had my ACL reconstructed my first year,” explains Cyr, 53. “The fact that I was able to return to that level of competition as a college running back drew me to the field of orthopedic surgery.
“During my residency, I found spine surgery the most intriguing because it was the most complex and required patience and meticulousness,” continues Cyr, who trained at the Mayo Clinic and is now the Chief Medical Officer of Surgical Associates in Spine at SASpine. He has a stellar reputation for correcting complex conditions of the spine and musculoskeletal system — but he also always had an interest in cosmetic surgery.
Now, after years of cosmetic surgery training, he has pioneered a significant integration of these two specialized fields. His CYRx MD Cosmetic Surgery leverages his orthopedic expertise and passion for fitness and body building. Cyr developed a revolutionary surgical technique called OrthoSculpt. Unlike conventional liposuction, which focuses solely on fat removal or shaping fat to portray muscle, OrthoSculpt is a five-step process which delves deeper to reveal a patient's underlying muscles with extraordinary precision.
By relying on a comprehensive understanding of muscle, nerve, and blood vessel anatomy, Cyr selectively and safely removes unwanted fat from areas of the face, neck, and body, to unveil jaw lines, cheekbones, and sculpted physiques with a natural-looking, fit, gym-built appearance.
But his cosmetic surgery expertise doesn’t stop there. “My fellowship training included both facial and body cosmetic surgeries of all kinds. I routinely perform breast augmentation, tummy tucks, breast lifts, facelift and neck lifts, Brazilian butt lifts, and fat transfers to the face, breasts, and body,” says Cyr.
At his offices in Houston, Ft. Lauderdale and San Antonio, he performs nonsurgical and aesthetic procedures (like filler and neurotoxin injections). He also offers ultrasound cavitation, which is the use of ultrasound technology to break down fat cells below the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
In his leisure time, the always-busy doctor enjoys weight training, martial arts and spending time with his wife of 25 years and their four children; the eldest is 22 and in law school at Vanderbilt. When time allows, traveling is another joy. “We love visiting Italy and Spain, where I have family.”
