BSD SUR - Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery: Administration

About the Department

At UChicago Medicine, faculty and staff in the Section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery are dedicated to caring for patients suffering: covering the entire spectrum of plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery from breast reconstruction to craniomaxillofacial and microsurgery.

Many faculty members are credited with pioneering several highly technical approaches in post-oncologic reconstructive surgery for cancer survivors, hand surgery, craniofacial surgery, and much more. Our plastic surgeons are also prepared to care for patients seeking cosmetic aesthetic surgery. They are committed to working with each patient to achieve the patient\'s desired outcome.

In addition, investigators in plastic and reconstructive surgery conduct rigorous research, particularly in the area of tissue engineering and craniofacial/bone biology. Their work would have widespread implications for individuals with craniofacial defects, such as those caused by trauma or tumor surgery.
