Plastic Surgeon and Medical TV Personality

About Dr. Anna Foster

Dr. Anna Foster gained national attention not from a viral surgery video, but from her 2021 congressional testimony on the FDA’s oversight gaps in dermal filler safety, where she presented histopathological data linking unregulated hyaluronic acid variants to chronic granulomatous reactions in over 370 patients across 14 states. As host of 'The Real Reconstructive' on PBS and lead investigator for the NIH-funded AESTHETIC Registry, she pioneered standardized pre-op psychosocial screening protocols now adopted by 62 academic plastic surgery programs. Her clinic in Portland operates a sliding-scale surgical literacy lab, where high school biology students dissect cadaveric facial anatomy alongside residents, and where every cosmetic consult begins with a 20-minute shared-decision charting session using FDA-mandated risk visualization tools. She doesn’t frame beauty as aspiration; she frames it as biomechanical continuity, ethical consent, and longitudinal tissue stewardship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Dr. Foster develop the 'Foster Scale' for aesthetic outcome assessment?
Yes—she co-authored the 2020 Foster-Weiss Visual Analog Scale (FVAS), a clinician-patient co-rated tool that quantifies symmetry, scar integration, and functional range—not just appearance—using calibrated photography and goniometric overlays. It's validated for 12 procedures and required in all ACGME-accredited fellowship outcomes reporting.
Why does Dr. Foster refuse to perform Brazilian butt lifts at her clinic?
She discontinued BBLs in 2019 after publishing a 5-year morbidity audit showing a 1:1,842 fatal pulmonary embolism rate in her regional cohort—nearly triple the national average. Her stance catalyzed the 2022 ASPS moratorium on facility-based BBLs without mandatory intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.
Is Dr. Foster affiliated with any device manufacturers?
She serves on the FDA’s Plastic Surgery Devices Panel but recuses herself from reviewing any product she’s consulted on. Since 2017, she’s disclosed zero industry payments—her research is funded exclusively by NIH, PCORI, and the Oregon Health Authority.
What’s the origin of her '12-Month Consent Renewal' policy?
After observing delayed regret in 14% of post-mastectomy reconstruction patients who underwent immediate implant placement, she instituted mandatory re-consent at 12 months—requiring updated imaging, psychological reassessment, and discussion of explant pathways. It’s now standard at five major cancer centers.
