Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery restores form and function to structures of the body with abnormalities caused by cancer, congenital disorders, injury or disease.
These life-changing surgeries range from complex microsurgical procedures to innovative techniques in wound closure that reduce scarring.
UC San Diego Health plastic surgeons are board certified, which ensures the highest quality and safety for patients. They specialize in reconstructive surgeries of different parts of the body in both children and adults.
