Summary
- I am a plastic surgeon who specializes in cleft lip, cleft palate and craniofacial surgery for pediatric patients. In addition, I offer general plastic surgery for adults, including facial reconstruction after traumatic injury, facial paralysis surgery, and facial cosmetic surgery.
My surgical services include: cleft lip and cleft palate repair, skull and jaw repair, general pediatric plastic surgery, rhinoplasty (nose jobs), facelifts and blepharoplasty (eyelid lifts). I use the latest advances in my practice, such as distraction osteogenesis — a bone lengthening technique — and incorporate novel materials into facial reconstruction procedures.
My research interests include applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning for plastic surgery; 3D printing; novel imaging techniques to limit radiation; and novel biomaterials.
