Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery serves a critical role in restoring not just the appearance, but also the function of body areas affected by cancer, injuries, or birth defects. It is a field of plastic surgery that demands an attention to detail and careful consideration of each individual patient's unique circumstance. Butler Plastic Surgery are your Reconstructive Surgery specialists in Tauranga and Whakatane.
Restoring Form, Function, and Confidence: Our Patient-Centred Approach to Reconstructive Surgery in Tauranga and Whakatane.
There is a wide array of reconstructive surgery options available, each tailored to address specific issues. These include transplanting your own skin/muscle/bone from one part of your body to another to restore tissue lost due to injury or disease, scar revisions to improve the appearance and texture of scars, and artificial implants to restore structure and shape where necessary. Each of these procedures employs sophisticated techniques and materials to achieve the best possible result.
In our hands, your goals take precedence. We meticulously plan each procedure to ensure that the final result aligns with your expectations and enhances your overall wellbeing. At the same time, we utilise the safest, most reliable surgical techniques to ensure optimal outcomes and minimise risks.
