Our expertly trained team of plastic surgeons is prepared to help you decide on the best procedure to meet your goals. Our surgical plan is tailored uniquely to your concerns and needs.
At Stamford Hospital, 98% of all plastic surgery can be done in a minimally invasive way. Most procedures—including microvascular breast reconstruction—can be done on an outpatient basis with minimal external incisions and state-of-the-art pain management. This means less blood loss, fewer complications, lighter anesthesia and faster recovery.
All of our plastic surgeons are board certified; many have academic appointments at Columbia University Medical School and Yale University Medical School.
Plastic surgery falls into two categories: Cosmetic, in which the surgeons change an otherwise normal physicality, and reconstructive, which restores or corrects the form or function of a physical attribute that falls out of the realm of normal. (These are usually due to birth defects, traumatic injury or illness such as cancer.) We offer a full range of both:
