Reconstructive Surgery

Scars, Wounds & Injuries

Plastic surgery is the specialty other surgeons turn to when wounds do not heal or trauma destroys skin and soft tissue.

Scars, Wounds & Injuries overview.

The practice describes this work as the foundation of plastic surgery: treatment and movement of living tissue to correct, alter, or restore a damaged or defective body part. Repair may involve preservation and repositioning of normal structure, skin grafting, tissue flap rotation, or use of the patient's own cartilage, bone, fat, or muscle.

Dr. Rein's Scars, Wounds & Injuries page describes meticulous repair, gentle tissue handling, tissue transfer, grafting, flap rotation, and restoration of damaged or defective body parts.

During consultation, Dr. Rein reviews the patient's goals, anatomy, health history, healing considerations, and realistic surgical or non-surgical options.
