Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Experts in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Our team of highly trained plastic surgeons, serving the greater Chicago area, covers the entire spectrum of plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery.

Our plastic surgeons not only serve the greater Chicagoland area, but are also nationally and internationally recognized experts in their field. Beyond rigorous and comprehensive training in plastic surgery, all of our surgeons have obtained additional specialized training and post-graduate fellowships in areas that includ: hand surgery, burn reconstruction, craniofacial surgery, gender-affirming care and microsurgery.
