Reconstructive Surgery

Courage

"When I injured my hand, I thought my life would never be the same. Thanks to my ASPS Member Surgeon I can do everything I did before."

Breast Reconstruction

Reconstruction of a breast lost to cancer or other disease offers women a renewed outlook on life and a chance to rebuild their ravaged bodies.

Burn Treatment

When patients have been burned due to heat, cold, radiation, electric current, or chemicals, plastic surgeons step in to repair the affected and disfigured areas to restore functionality and help patients achieve a more normal appearance.

Birth Defects

Birth defects or congenital deformities, such as birthmarks, cleft lips, cleft palates, hand and food deformities, and even abnormal breast development, affect tens of thousands of children each year.

Plastic surgeons help heal these children, enabling them to live lives free of ridicule and shame because of their physical differences.

Facial Reconstruction

Facial trauma can be one of the most debilitating of all injuries. Through facial reconstruction, plastic surgeons help patients who have endured dog and other animal bites (pictured above), lacerations, burns, and other trauma take crucial steps toward returning to normal lives.
