Harvey Austin, founder of The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery, is a philosopher-surgeon who has spent most of his adult life as a student of both personal and cultural transformation.

Most of us, Austin asserts, assume that personal transformation occurs only in the spiritual, emotional or mental quadrants of our lives. Dr. Austin has found that the alteration of the physical quadrant of our being, through cosmetic surgery, is a valid entry to transformation. He has spent years investigating the junction of cosmetic surgery with spirituality. His dynamic insightfulness adds power and clarity to his writing.

Dr. Austin's ongoing inquiry into the meaning of what is required to live a powerful life, to be fully human, to live a life full of self expression and vitality, has lead him on a twenty five year journey of personal and professional development.

THE AUSTIN-WESTON CENTER FOR COSMETIC SURGERY, is perhaps the largest and most innovative private center for cosmetic surgery in the United States...the web site contains a score or more of "before" and "after" photos illustrating various procedures available.

He is a major contributor to THE HUNGER PROJECT, dedicated to the sustainable end of hunger in the world. He has nine biological and adopted children and lives on the St. Martin River in Berlin, Maryland, with his wife, Ellen Tolliver.

Harvey is a published writer. This personal web site is designed to:

1. Build a portal where his writings are available to support his three major commitments in the world: transforming cosmetic surgery, transforming aging and ending hunger.
2. Engage in an ongoing and enriching inquiry with those of similar interests and commitments.
3. Engender thinking and action which will impact the culture.
4. Have fun in the process.

Some of Dr. Austin's publications, particularly the Classic Series, are also available, in modified form, on the web site of the Austin-Weston Center.
