Washington University facial plastic surgeons bring patients a unique blend of extensive training and experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery of the face, head and neck. This combination provides patients with a thorough understanding of the functions and structures of the face, head and neck so each patient can identify his or her goal for facial plastic surgery.

Skillful reconstruction during facial plastic surgery procedures is critical because the face, head, and neck are high-impact areas and they contain most of our sensory systems. From complicated reconstructive surgeries due to cancer, trauma and accidents, to a full range of cosmetic procedures such as eyelid surgery and mini facelifts, Washington University facial plastic surgeons work exclusively on the face, head and neck, and develop special expertise from the concentrated experience.
