Surgery

Our Residents and Fellows

For more than 60 years, we have trained residents in the art and science of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Because we regularly train others, we must stay on top of the latest techniques and technology.

Graduates from our programs have gone on to hold top academic positions at prestigious academic medical centers around the country.
