Emergency Plastic Surgery

Emergency plastic surgery isn’t about getting bigger boobs, or removing fat. Emergency plastic surgery is common after trauma and burns, which require delicate plastic surgery to repair. Plastic surgeons are also capable of repairing severed fingers, through the use of delicate microsurgery and plastics.

I recently treated a young 14 year old girl who had had her face badly bitten by a dog. Through the expertise of an emergency plastic surgeon, and 8 hours of emergency plastic surgery involving 248 micro-stitches, this young girl made a virtually full recovery, and her scars are almost un-noticeable by people who didn’t know that she had had such an injury.
