Deciding to have plastic surgery is a very important decision. If you are looking for a tri-state area facility, the Plastic Surgery Division at UPMC Hamot can help you achieve the results you desire. Our division is dedicated to every patient and will strive to exceed your needs and expectations.
The name of our specialty is derived from the Greek word plastikos, which means to form or mold. We strive to improve patients' appearance, self-image and confidence through both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Reconstructive procedures correct defects on the face or body and in the process restore form and function. Cosmetic (also called aesthetic) procedures alter a part of the body to improve patient satisfaction.

Our main objective is to help achieve your desired results. We will ensure that your time spent in our facility will be a positive experience, beginning with your initial consultation and ending with your final result.
Our surgeons have extensive training from world renowned institutions and experience in all areas of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. They also have training in general surgery, in addition to special training in plastic surgery. Not only have our surgeons had the best training possible, they also train other physicians in the latest surgical treatment options.
