The Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is focused on advancing patient care through basic and clinical research. Vilray Blair, MD, a founder of the plastic surgery specialty, served as our division’s first chief in the early 20th century and trained many of the next generation’s leaders. Today, we are known worldwide for peripheral nerve surgery and research; offer advanced treatment in facial paralysis, cleft palate and craniofacial deformities; and consistently send a high percentage of trainees on to academic practice.
