Dr. Edward Gronet

When Dr. Gronet joined Alluring Aesthetics in 2022 he brought facial aesthetic surgery to San Antonio’s busiest body contouring and high-definition liposuction practice.

In addition to providing Alluring Aesthetics’ modern body contouring and breast surgery, Dr Gronet is able to offer facial rejuvenation and cosmetic/aesthetic surgery.

Dr. Gronet attended college and Medical School in North Carolina at UNC-Chapel Hill and the Brody School of Medicine at ECU. He was the first-ever graduate from his medical school to directly enter Plastic Surgery Training. His Residency training was with experts and legacy educators at Baylor, Scott & White in Temple, TX. He is currently an Assistant Adjunct Professor at the UT Health Science Center and the UIW School of Medicine.

With Dr. Gronet, Alluring Aesthetics now offers comprehensive facial rejuvenation with the most modern of techniques. This includes face and neck lifting, eyelid lifts, rhinoplasties, brow lift, chemical peels, as well as fat removal and facial fat grafting. Bonus, many of these can be combined with other facial or even with some body surgeries!

Dr. Gronet is committed to a natural appearance after surgery and conducts his consultations and procedures with a conservative aesthetic.
