Plastic surgery is concerned with the reshaping of body tissues to correct patients’ disfigurements and malformations and to improve physical appearance. The word plastic comes from the Greek plastikos, meaning “to shape or form.” The primary objectives in plastic surgery are to restore function of damaged tissues and to produce cosmetically pleasing results. Plastic surgery procedures routinely performed at Little Company of Mary Hospitals include:

Tram Flap — reconstructive surgery following mastectomy
Mammoplasty — reduction
Breast Reconstruction with Implant
Excision of Skin Lesions
Skin Grafts
