Breast reconstruction
Our reconstructive surgeons will work with you and your cancer care team to make a plan to reconstruct the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. This could include implant reconstruction, microsurgical (free flap) reconstruction or using a combination of techniques.
Breast Center
Hand and upper extremity surgery
Our team of hand surgeons specialize in degenerative and congenital disorders and traumatic hand and wrist injuries.
Hand, wrist and shoulder surgery
Surgery for headaches and migraine
Our team of plastic surgeons work with you to reduce or eliminate headache frequency, duration and pain. Migraines can be associated with compression and irritation of sensory nerves and vessels around your head. When these compression points are released during surgery, the severity of migraines may decrease or you may not experience further migraines.
Improving surgery through research
Our plastic and reconstructive doctors and scientists study new ways to repair nerve injuries. This means better care and long-term results for you. Learn more
