Your Consultation

Selecting a plastic surgeon is an important medical decision. Dr. Kutz believes the keys to selecting a surgeon include education, experience, a focus on safety, and development of a rapport and trust between patient and surgeon. Dr. Kutz's philosophy is to first understand your personal goals and desired changes, and to then recommend the best program to tailor the treatment to achieve optimal results. Regarding safety, our surgery center is staffed by experienced nurses and physician assistants running two full-scale operating rooms. Unlike many other plastic surgery facilities in Maine, procedures performed under general anesthesia in our surgery center are attended by board-certified anesthesiologists who are present throughout the duration of your procedure and recovery.

Facilities

The Plastic + Hand Surgery Center

Medical advances in recent years mean that many of the surgical procedures that used to require overnight stays in a hospital can now be performed safely on an outpatient basis. The Plastic + Hand Surgery Center is an outpatient surgery facility located on-site. Opened in 1987, it was one of Maine’s first day surgery facilities.

Experienced nurses and physician assistants staff two full-scale operating rooms. An anesthesiologist from Spectrum Medical Group, the physician group that provides anesthesia at MaineHealth Maine Medical Center Portland and Biddeford campuses​, provides anesthesia care for our patients.

The Plastic + Hand Surgery Center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory HealthCare, Inc. It is also Medicare-certified and licensed by the State of Maine.

Member Response:

Hello and thanks for your question. I agree with Dr. Castillo’s response in terms of possibly needing both a lift as well as one or likely more rounds of fat grafting to achieve the results you desire. This is something we can offer.
