Plastic surgeons perform more than one million reconstructive procedures every year. Reconstructive surgery helps patients of all ages and types – whether it’s a child with a birth defect, a young adult injured in an accident, or an older adult with a problem caused by aging. The goal of reconstructive surgery is to restore appearance and function to significantly improve patient quality of life. View our reconstructive procedure list to learn more.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures available today. New medical techniques have made it possible for surgeons to create a breast that can come close in form and appearance to matching a natural breast.
Latissimus Flap Breast Reconstruction
Latissimus muscle flap breast reconstruction can provide support and contour for patients who are not ideal candidates for other more common methods of breast reconstruction.
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is diagnosed by removing all or part of a skin growth and examining its cells under a microscope. It can be treated by a number of methods, depending on the type of cancer, its stage of growth, and its location on your body.
Tissue Expansion
Tissue expansion enables the body to “grow” extra skin for use in reconstructing almost any part of the body. A silicone balloon expander is inserted under the skin and gradually filled over time, causing the skin to stretch and grow.
