Dr. Carman Stiles earned her medical degree with high honors at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. She completed a residency in pediatric medicine at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, followed by an integrated residency in plastic surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, she joined the UT Southwestern Department of Plastic Surgery faculty in 2020 following 18 years in private practice.
Dr. Carman Stiles served as the Young Physicians representative for The American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons to the American Medical Association and the Texas Medical Association Foundation. She was also the Young Physician Editor of Plastic Surgery News.
She is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Texas Medical Association, and the Dallas Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Dr. Carman Stiles is committed to improving the appearance and enhancing the self-esteem of her patients and is skilled at using nonsurgical treatments, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery, as needed. Dr. Carman Stiles has been interviewed on several radio talk shows and has been a guest on The Jeff Crilley Show.

Dr. Carman Stiles lives in Dallas and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, doing yoga, and spending time outdoors.
Dr. Christine Carman Stiles knows that when people don’t feel confident about the way they look, they often make choices that limit their enjoyment of day-to-day living. Her passion is helping her patients enhance and reveal their natural beauty, so that they can participate more fully in their lives.
“Patients want to look like themselves, just better,” she says. “Returning to the self you remember is what we are able to accomplish through plastic surgery.”
After 18 years in private practice, Dr. Carman Stiles joined the UT Southwestern Department of Plastic Surgery so that she could offer patients her expertise with the resources of a world-class institution.
She performs a wide range of aesthetic procedures, including minimally invasive procedures, nonsurgical treatments, and surgery. She especially enjoys helping mothers restore their pre-pregnancy bodies with the Mommy Makeover. The physical changes of pregnancy and the demands of motherhood often leave women unhappy with their appearance and frustrated with their ability to improve their bodies on their own. The combination of a breast procedure and an abdominal procedure, the Mommy Makeover rejuvenates a woman's post-baby body and restores her self-esteem. “It is a privilege to help someone along the journey of such a powerful change in their life,” she says.
Whether through a Mommy Makeover, facial rejuvenation such as Smartlipo, or another body contouring procedure, Dr. Carman Stiles’s goal is to her patients achieve youthful, natural-looking results that help them feel better. “It makes a real difference in people’s lives,” she says, “and it is wonderful to watch a patient’s self-confidence soar post-operatively.”
