Plastic Surgery

Please refer to the right for links to topics under this heading.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons:

• It’s estimated that more that one million reconstructive procedures are performed by plastic surgeons every year. Reconstructive surgery helps patients of all ages and types – whether it’s a child with a birth defect, a young adult injured in an accident, or an older adult with a problem caused by aging.

• The most common procedures in hand surgery are those done to repair injured hands, including injuries to the tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and joints; fractured bones; and burns, cuts, and other injuries to the skin.

• Complex craniofacial abnormalities, such as Crouzon syndrome and craniosynostosis, affect one in every 1,500 newborns.
