Welcome to the University of North Carolina's Division of Plastic Surgery!
We are pleased that you have chosen to explore what we have to offer: aesthetic and reconstructive services that are provided by fellowship-trained, board-certified plastic surgeons, in a safe and secure environment. Whether you desire minimally invasive facial rejuvenation or perforator flap breast reconstruction, we are committed to providing the highest quality experience, focusing on the unique needs of the plastic surgery patient.
Over the past several years, we have built a program of exceptional strength and diversity, increased our clinical volume three-fold, expanded our residency program from two to three years, and created a craniofacial fellowship. Our five full-time faculty offer the full spectrum of plastic surgery services: aesthetic surgery, non-invasive cosmetic services, burn reconstruction, pediatric plastic surgery, craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, body contouring, breast reconstruction, and microsurgery.
The following concepts guide every decision that we make about our practice and patients:
“Leading through innovation, serving with compassion”
