Travis L. Shaw, MD is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon who leads Synergy Face + Body’s Virginia practices, overseeing both the Richmond and Midlothian locations. A Richmond native, he has practiced in the Richmond area since 2009. He is certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, earned his B.A. in East Asian Studies from Washington and Lee University and his M.D. from VCU School of Medicine, and completed his residency at the Medical College of Virginia, where much of his training was spent performing head and neck cancer surgery at Massey Cancer Center.

In 2012 he founded his own practice, Travis Shaw, MD, which today operates as Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw, MD. Dr. Shaw performs rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), chin implants, septoplasty, and earlobe repair, and leads a team providing injectables, laser treatments, and clinical skin care, always with an emphasis on results that look natural rather than overdone.

Outside the practice he serves as an adjunct professor at the VCU School of Business, volunteers facial reconstruction for survivors of domestic violence through FACE TO FACE: The National Domestic Violence Project and for uninsured patients through Access Now, has performed cleft lip and palate surgery in Belize with the World Pediatric Project, and leads the Richmond chapter of Cycling Without Age.
