Whether you're looking for an experienced plastic surgeon following a traumatic injury or you’re seeking care for an abnormality you were born with, you can trust the experts at University of Missouri Health Care.
Our board-certified plastic surgeons are the most experienced reconstructive surgery team in central Missouri. That’s important because these surgeries need highly skilled, precise techniques to create the most natural-looking results. Our plastic surgeons are specially trained in microsurgery — surgeries performed using tiny instruments under a microscope. Our surgeons are also experts in wound closure to reduce scarring.
As an academic health center, we offer experience, medical technology and capabilities you can’t find anywhere else in mid-Missouri. If there’s a new advancement in burn treatment, wound closure or another area of reconstructive surgery, like hyperbaric oxygen therapy, our reconstructive surgeons are on the leading edge of care. We also offer treatments before they’re widely available through our clinical trials.
