Procedures

The word Plastic comes from the Greek word plastikos 'to mold or give form'. Plastic surgery is the art and science of reshaping the body - whether for cosmetic improvement like a facelift, or to correct congenital body deformities, reconstruct the body after trauma or other surgery, the principles are the same. The skills that allow a Plastic Surgeon to put a child's face back together after a brutal dog attack are the basis for other procedures, such-as delicate cosmetic eyelid surgery.

The specialty of plastic surgery covers a wide range of procedures, and unlike other medical specialties, which concentrate on one particular area of the body, plastic surgeons are involved in the reconstruction and remolding of nearly all external body structures. With ever-increasing popularity, plastic surgery has helped millions of Americans fulfill their dreams of achieving a healthier, more youthful approach to their lives. Dr. Mark Walker is the only local physician Board-Certified in Plastic Surgery and General Surgery, but chooses to concentrate his practice on plastic surgical procedures only. We hope the information in the sections to the right will provide you with an introduction to some of the procedures performed through our office. For more detailed discussion about how these procedures may help you, please contact Dr. Walker's office to schedule a consultation.
