Facial Surgery


The Department of Plastic Surgery offers complete services in facial reconstructive surgery. We accept all consults in this area, and are happy to see patients with diagnosed or suspected facial cancers, defects from previously excised cancers, functional or aesthetic defects of surgery, trauma or burns. We work closely with Dermatology and Head/Neck Cancer Team to provide thorough ablative and reconstructive services. Our staff can provide state of the art microvascular free flap reconstruction including inervated functional flap procedures.

In addition we operate a complete Cleft Lip/ Palate Team.
