The University of Chicago Medical Center’s Plastic & Reconstructive program offers the patient at Weiss Memorial Hospital choices in all areas of plastic surgery.
Dr. Lawrence S. Zachary is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes in body contouring and breast augmentation after massive weight loss (lifts and liposuction), breast reconstruction after breast cancer, breast reduction, facial plastic surgery, hand surgery, skin cancers and reconstructive surgery for traumatic defects.
After surgical consultation, patients choose which plastic surgery option is best for them. We have a special interest in body contouring, including liposuction, to properly shape the abdomen, buttocks, hips, arms, thighs and breasts after weight loss. We help the patient obtain the final body contour they desire.
Breast surgery includes post-mastectomy reconstruction, breast reduction, correction of congenital breast abnormalities, breast lifts and augmentation. Weiss provides a comprehensive women's program for breast cancer patients. We offer patients the best options for treatment of their breast cancer and reconstruction.
Hand surgeons treat a broad spectrum of hand problems, from congenital abnormalities to traumatic injuries. This includes a variety of work-related injuries such as fractures, amputations, tendon injuries and nerve injuries. Additionally, Dr. Zachary has had great success in treating patients who suffer from Raynaud's Phenomenon caused by
scleroderma or other collagen
vascular diseases.
Weiss performs all aspects of cosmetic surgery. Our most important goal is to provide patients with individualized care and to help them choose the right procedure for them.
