Texas LegendsThe Texas Legends represent the most distinguished members of the Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons — those whose careers have shaped the profession, strengthened our Society, and elevated the standard of care across our state. This prestigious honor is reserved for surgeons who have been members of TSPS for 10 years or more and are 65 years of age or older, recognizing not only longevity, but a lifetime of leadership, service, and professional excellence. Each year, the Texas Legends are formally honored during the TSPS Annual Meeting, where current officers, past presidents, and invited VIP guests come together to celebrate their lasting contributions to plastic surgery in Texas. More than a recognition, Texas Legends is a living legacy — connecting generations of surgeons, preserving the history of our specialty, and inspiring those who follow. 2025 - Linda Phillips, MD | Dallas2024 - Charles N.
