Many of my patients may not know I’m the son of a well-known Texas modern artist. He was a painter, sculptor, teacher, philosopher, and good person. It is from his sense of detail and aesthetics and well as artistic influence that my decision to become a plastic surgeon came very naturally. He passed away two years ago, and I wanted to leave his legacy and mark on my new office for all my patients to enjoy.
I grew up going to museums and painting and doing art with my father since I could walk. I think I get my eye for detail and artistic judgment from him. For anyone that is interested, there is a really good and comprehensive entry on my father in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Boynton.
Some of the things that he did that he would never tell you because he was so modest…he was one of the first three Texas artists to be in Paris in 1959.
He was one of the 17 young artists selected for the Brussels World Fair in 1957.
He was honored at the home of the Vice President in the late 1970s for his “boot” poster which is well known in Texas. It and the Texas posters have hung in the Texas Governor’s Mansion as well as many other places. Seen below being honored with Mrs. Mondale (wife of then Vice President Walter Mondale ) in the late 1970s.
He was mostly an art teacher and has taught still life, acrylic, painting, sculpture at many universities and workshops thoroughout the country. Among them, University of Houston, St Thomas University, the Art Institute of San Francisco to name a few.
As a tribute to my father and the inspiration he was for me, I am honored to share many of his original paintings spanning six decades with my patients. Please visit our office and enjoy the beauty of my collection of Jack Boynton original masterpieces.

Houston, TX – Boynton Plastic Surgery is proving their commitment to state-of-the art body enhancement with their acquisition of the Liposonix System. Liposonix is a non-surgical alternative for achieving one’s ideal body shape. Dr. James F. Boynton says that Liposonix is the “hottest new non-operative liposuction device,” and as of this month, he is the first Houston plastic surgeon to offer the cutting-edge technology.
The Liposonix System will be an asset to Dr. Boynton, who emphasizes the aesthetic aspect of plastic surgery and places his attention on compassionate, personalized patient care. The innovative device provides doctors with a highly focused tool that offers Custom Contouring capabilities, helping patients achieve their individual goals. In addition, the liposuction alternative is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes high-intensity focused ultrasound (or HIFU) energy to target and destroy fat without harming the skin. The body’s natural healing process will then remove the treated fat cells. While other ultrasound methods of body fat removal utilize low-frequency, low-intensity, or unfocused energy that lead to varying results and the necessity of multiple treatments, the Liposonix System takes approximately one hour and most patients see results after a single treatment.
On average, patients achieve a loss of one inch, dress size, or pant size within 8-12 weeks from having the treatment done. With this new technology in hand, Dr. Boynton is proving his dedication to innovation and his commitment to remaining a leader in the field of plastic surgery: “Patients want to improve the fullness around their waist and mid section that they cannot achieve through diet and exercise. However, they are not ready for surgery. There are many options for them, but I believe Liposonix offers the best science that destroys a portion of the fat cells in a non-invasive, safe and relatively pain-free way in an office setting. This is not intended to be a replacement for surgery, but is a good option for those who are either not ready for surgery or who cannot take the downtime. This is also something that can be done in a single one-hour session as opposed to some of the other non-invasive options that may take several mulit-hour sessions.
Dr. Boynton’s commitment to the needs of the individual at his Houston plastic surgery practice is evident not only in his acquisition of the Liposonix System – a system created with the same goals in mind – but also evident in the testimonies of his patients. One patient states: “I had the Liposonix treatment and totally love it. It took a little over an hour with little to no discomfort. I am amazed how fantastic it is. No downtime, no anesthesia, non-invasive. I literally got back into my car and drove home. I had a little bruising but no pain. The staff at Boynton Plastic Surgery had communicated so well to me what to expect from my procedure. There were NO surprises. Immediately, I could feel tightness where it was flabby before. I am recommending this to everyone.”
