Plastic Surgery

Conemaugh Health System physicians are board certified and members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Each physician is trained in an array of minimally invasive cosmetic, reconstructive, and emergency procedures, and are committed to providing the ideal patient experience. Procedures are performed in technologically-advanced surgical suites.

Breast Care

Breast Reconstruction following Mastectomy

Implants and muscle flaps are used for reconstructive breast procedures, typically achieved through several plastic surgery techniques. Results are highly variable and while reconstruction can effectively rebuild the breast, it will not have the same sensation and feel.

Breast Reduction for Women

Typically performed in women who are experiencing physical pain and discomfort, breast reduction surgery removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin. Reduction helps improve the size and shape of the breast, as well as helps alleviate the discomfort associated with large breasts. 

Reconstructive Breast Reduction for Men (Gynecomastia)

A condition that affects an estimated 40 to 60% of men, gynecomastia can be treated with breast reduction surgery. The procedure removes excess fat and glandular tissue, resulting in a more flatter and firmer chest. 

Cosmetic

Cosmetic Breast Augmentation for Women

Saline or silicone implants are used for cosmetic breast augmentation procedures. Breast augmentation increases fullness of the breast and can improve balance in a woman's figure. 

Cosmetic Breast Lift for Women

Procedure that raises the breasts, removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding tissue.

Skin Cancer Care

Conemaugh Health System physicians and staff understand concerns of patients with skin cancer, including scars or disfigurement that may result from surgical treatment. Our team guides patients through treatment and follow-up procedures.

Cosmetic Procedures

Many procedures can be done on an outpatient basis. Even complex procedures can be treated using minimally invasive techniques. The result?  A quicker recovery, fewer complications and nearly invisible scars. Our plastic surgery physicians offer a full range of surgical treatments at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, including: 

• Abdominoplasty

Reconstructive Surgery
