Consultations
Dr. Michelow has a personal interest in cosmetic surgery with emphasis on breast improvement (augmentation, reduction, asymmetry correction) and abdominal/thigh controuting

Having completed a fellowship in pediatric plastic surgery, he strives for painless procedures for children and invisible mending of incised wounds and lacerations

Reconstruction of the breast with natural tissue is favored by him because of the superior outcome. Cancers of the skin, of the face or torso are ever more frequent and Dr. Michelow will allay your anxiety as he guides you through your treatment
