 Dr. Chris Gordon specializes in minimally invasive reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, with special expertise in state-of-the-art treatment for facial cosmetic surgery and body contouring, including laser treatment for non-invasive resurfacing of the skin for wrinkles and sun damage. Dr. Gordon completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at the University of Louisville, a fellowship in craniomaxillofacial/minimally invasive plastic surgery at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Mexico City, and a fellowship in craniofacial and aesthetic surgery at Hospital M. Gea Gonzalez, Mexico City, under the direction of the world-renowned Dr. Fernando Ortiz-Monesterio who is considered the one of the fathers of craniofacial surgery. Dr. Gordon speaks fluent Spanish.

Accolades
- Visiting Professor in Egypt, Spain, France, Mexico, Venezuela, and Guatemala.
- Chairman, Distraction Session, Sociedad Andina de Cirugia Plastica, Las Lenas, Argentina, August 25-29, 2003.
- Chairman, Panel on Maxillofacial Distraction, 3rd International Symposium on Distraction Osteogenesis and Orthognathic Surgery, Stuttgart, Germany, October 17-18, 2003.
- Dr. Gordon holds multiple medical patents on devices designed to correct pediatric facial deformities using minimally invasive techniques, for harvesting adult stem cells and for aesthetic surgery.
- Dr. Gordon’s current research focuses on using gene chip technology to identify novel genetic pathways in rapid bone distraction, and he and his collaborators recently discovered a new craniofacial syndrome, demonstrating a mutation in the promoter of a key developmental gene. From this project, they identified unique polymorphisms present in most human craniofacial genes that may explain recent human evolution in individual appearance, intelligence, and susceptibility to several degenerative diseases. These findings have been submitted to the journal Nature Genetics.
