The history of Plastic Surgery is rooted in Reconstructive Surgery. The word is derived from the greek word “Plastikos” which means to mold. Reconstructive Surgery strives to make whole again, where something was taken away. Both functional and aesthetic deficits caused by cancer resection, trauma, burns or congenital defects can be addressed with Reconstructive Surgery. From breast cancer reconstruction, to facial reconstruction after skin cancer resection, to abdominal wall reconstruction Dr. Tutela has an extensive experience in treating wide range of surgical problems. His experience in microsurgery has enabled him to address even the most challenging cases.
