This New Med Spa and Plastic Surgery Center Is Truly Cutting-Edge

MEDICAL SPAS HAVE grown immensely popular over recent years, offering a range of services beyond the instant-IG-filter look. High-end centers with a sophisticated aesthetic and advanced technology are all the rage. Acclaimed Nuveau Plastic Surgery + Medical Aesthetics recently relocated to a 5,500-square-foot space on Westheimer, on the cusp of its fifth anniversary.


Award-winning plastic surgeon Edward Lee and his managing partner, Randy Rakes, worked for more than two years on the design, which heavily favors Italian finishes a la CASA Houston.

Lee and Rakes pride themselves on their ability to offer the “proper education” to ensure both male and female clients make “informed decisions” about services and procedures that range from a few hundred dollars to more than $10K — all under one roof.

The state-of-the-art facility houses seven treatment suites servicing clients for various medical aesthetic needs like Botox, Microneedling, VI peels, Halo Laser Resurfacing, Moxi Non-Ablative Laser, Broad Band Light Photofacials, Coolsculpting, Emsculpt and more. The ever-popular hydrafacial is especially enjoyable here.

Nuveau also boasts a Visia Skin Analysis Studio, where patients take a deeper look into their skin health, allowing for necessary treatment options to be explored.

Uniquely, Nuveau has an operating room with official approval from the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF). The organization grants the certification to surgery centers run according to the highest hospital standards and staff highly qualified and trained surgeons.

There are pre-op and post-op suites, providing patients with comfort and ease, and a private entrance and exit permits the utmost discretion from the beginning to the end of the process. “We’re focused on providing our patients and clients with the best possible experience when it comes to enhancements and elevating functionality and appearances,” shares Lee, who specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries like facelifts, eyelid surgeries, tummy tucks, liposuction, rhinoplasty and beyond.

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.

How did you get to where you are today? A few key principles integrated into my life: setting clear goals, maintaining a growth mindset, building strong habits, and surrounding myself with the right people. Goals provided direction, while a growth mindset helped me turn challenges into opportunities for learning. Consistent habits, like disciplined work and effective communication, kept me moving forward. Being surrounded by motivated, supportive individuals has elevated my standards and kept me accountable. They’ve provided advice, encouragement, and sometimes that extra push I needed to stay on track. With these elements, I’ve been able to create a framework that helps me succeed and ensures I continue to grow and evolve.
