Abdominal/BARs

Abdominal/BARs

Patients who suffer from difficult and recurrent hernias can find new hope with BARs (Bony Anchoring Reinforcement), an innovative procedure developed by the surgeons at The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction. The BARs technique provides support for the lower abdominal wall that is weakened through breast reconstruction. Performed by only a select few surgeons, it has proven to be very effective in restoring abdominal strength.

Blepharoplasty - Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty - Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty can rejuvenate tired-looking eyes by addressing excess skin and fat in the eyelids. Our expert surgeons perform precise procedures to improve both appearance and function. We aim to create a more alert, youthful look while potentially improving peripheral vision obstructed by sagging lids.

Breast Reconstruction

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction helps breast cancer survivors regain their confidence. We are changing the landscape of breast reconstruction surgery with innovative procedures, such as DIEP flap surgery. Our skilled surgeons use sophisticated techniques that focus on the patient for beautiful, natural results.

Facelift

Facelift

Our expert plastic surgeons perform advanced facelift techniques to rejuvenate facial appearance. We focus on natural-looking results, addressing sagging skin, deep creases, and loss of muscle tone. Our goal is to enhance facial contours, restore a more youthful appearance, and boost patients' confidence.

Foot Drop

Foot Drop

Foot drop results in difficulty lifting the front of the foot, caused by an underlying condition that is often due to a nerve injury. To restore functionality, our expertly trained surgeons offer nerve decompression surgery, nerve reconstruction, tendon transfer, and more. Most patients experience full recovery, with improved mobility and no pain.

Hand & Upper Extremity

Hand & Upper Extremity

Problems with the upper extremities can cause functional impairments and chronic pain, which can significantly impact quality of life. We offer advanced treatments, such as nerve transfers and targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), to help patients regain functionality in their shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands. Our patient-centered approach to treatment allows us to deliver superb outcomes.

Non-healing Fractures / Non-union Bones

Non-healing Fractures / Non-union Bones

Non-healing fractures require specialized care to promote bone union. Our orthopedic experts offer advanced treatments, from bone stimulation to complex surgical interventions. We focus on creating an optimal environment for healing, using techniques like bone grafting and stable fixation to help patients achieve full recovery.

Sports Hernias

Sports Hernias

Sports hernias can significantly impact athletic performance. Our team offers specialized care for these complex injuries, from conservative management to surgical repair. We focus on addressing the underlying cause, restoring core stability, and implementing tailored rehabilitation to help athletes return to their sport safely.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation (TMR)

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation (TMR)

TMR is an innovative procedure for amputees experiencing phantom limb pain or seeking improved prosthetic control. Our specialized surgeons rewire residual nerves to new muscle sites, reducing pain and allowing for more intuitive prosthetic function. This advanced technique can significantly enhance amputees' quality of life and prosthetic capabilities.

Wrist, Hand & Finger

Wrist, Hand & Finger

Fractures in the wrist, hand, and fingers require expert care to ensure proper healing and function. Our hand surgery specialists offer tailored treatments, from casting to intricate surgical repairs. We aim to restore alignment, preserve mobility, and help patients regain dexterity for improved function in daily activities.
