Departments & Centers

We will assist in improving patients quality of life (QOL) by meticulously treating deformities and scars caused by nature, injury and illness.

Symptoms due to aging (eyelid ptosis, pigmented spots etc) will be also treated. Multidisciplinary treatment will be offered in coordination with other departments, for example, Emergency Medicine for facial fractures and burns, Orthopedic Surgery Department for traumas in extremities, Breast Surgery Department for breast reconstruction, and Dermatology Department for skin tumor resection.

We deal with a wide range of conditions ranging from primary care to highly complex consultations and treatments.
