Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive procedures help people feel and function better with congenital conditions or following illness or trauma. At Allegheny Health Network’s (AHN) Surgery Institute, we understand how these things impact everyday activities and even how you feel about yourself. We can help.

Our plastic surgeons regularly perform reconstructive procedures, including breast reconstruction surgery. Our team also includes accomplished physicians who have unique expertise in reconstructive hand surgery, nerve surgery, and gender-affirming surgery for transgender people.
