Reconstructive Plastic Surgery

Reconstructive surgery is performed by plastic surgeons to restore appearance and function of tissues that have been affected by trauma, tumor or birth defects. A complete listing of all reconstructive procedures is beyond the scope of this site. Dr. Yates has undergone intensive training in all aspects of reconstructive surgery including completing a microsurgical fellowship.   Dr. Yates considers this kind of surgery extremely satisfying and rewarding.

Some of the more common reconstructive surgeries include:

• Burn surgery
• Skin cancer defect repair
• Skin grafts
• Flap coverage of defects
• Reconstructive hand surgery
• Breast reconstruction after cancer
• Laceration repair
• Scar revision
