As a plastic surgeon at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ, I am fortunate to engage in a field that allows me to build long-term, meaningful relationships with my patients. My approach is centered on carefully listening to and understanding my patients’ goals, helping them return to their lives in the best way possible. I am passionate about reconstructive and functional plastic surgery, particularly of the breast and body, and I find great joy in the technical challenges and rewards this specialty offers.

I specialize in a range of procedures, including reconstruction after skin cancer, breast reconstruction, and extremity injuries, as well as breast reduction, augmentation, and other aesthetic procedures. My expertise includes methods such as deep inferior epigastric perforator artery (DIEP) flaps, stacked flaps, profunda artery perforator (PAP), and lumbar artery perforator (LAP) flaps, which enable me to offer autologous breast reconstruction, to patients who may have been told they were not candidates for this type of surgery, which uses a patient’s own tissue to rebuild the breast after mastectomy. My commitment to proactive healthcare engagement ensures that my patients receive the latest in peer-reviewed, sound science.

Throughout my career, I have focused on research and innovation, constantly asking questions, evaluating our work, and publishing findings to advance the field of plastic surgery. This dedication to academic excellence and patient care allows me to provide the best possible outcomes for my patients. My work spans various reconstructive and aesthetic procedures, always aiming to help patients look, feel, and function optimally.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. I pursued my medical education with a focus on plastic surgery, driven by the exciting advancements and the opportunity to combine technical precision with compassionate care.

As part of the ºÙºÙÊÓƵ team, I collaborate with a dedicated group of professionals to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients. I am deeply committed to fostering strong partnerships with my patients, ensuring a positive and responsive healthcare experience.
