Many people may not be aware that the specialty of plastic surgery includes not only the discipline of cosmetic surgery but also reconstructive plastic surgery.
For decades, plastic surgeons have been at the forefront of reconstruction, from the reattachment of fingers…to the reconstruction of a breast cancer survivor….to helping children overcome congenital abnormalities.
Did you know that the first successful kidney transplant was performed by plastic surgeon Joseph Murray in 1954?
