Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Our vision is to create an institute of plastic surgery which offers the highest level of surgical care by a team of doctors who have specialties across the whole spectrum of the plastic surgery field.
8 Centers of Excellence have been developed at University Hospitals Department of Plastic Surgery. Personal and state-of-the-art care is provided by fellowship-trained plastic surgeons with narrow areas of focus and expertise to produce natural and pleasing outcomes.
Centers of Excellence:
Cosmetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery is not limited to women. Increasingly, men are taking advantage of options available. Some of the more common procedures for men include:
- Rhinoplasty (resculpting the nose)
- Blepharoplasty (removing baggy skin from eyelids)
- Dermabrasion (removing skin imperfections, e.g. acne scars, birthmarks)
- Rhytidectomy (facelift)
- Male breast reduction (Gynecomastia)
