I am honored to be speaking at the ICOPLAST International Webinar on Head and Neck Reconstruction alongside an outstanding international panel of reconstructive microsurgeons.

During this session, I will discuss:

“Free Tissue Transfer for Nasal Reconstruction: The Subunit Approach.”

Nasal reconstruction represents one of the most demanding challenges in reconstructive surgery. Using microvascular free tissue transfer combined with the aesthetic subunit principle, we can restore both form and function in complex nasal defects.

This webinar will also feature excellent talks on:

• Aesthetic considerations in head and neck reconstruction
• Dual paddle gracilis transfer for facial palsy
• Tips and pearls for fibula flap inset in mandibular reconstruction

Thank you to ICOPLAST and Dr. Edward Chang for organizing this important educational session.

📅 Saturday, March 28, 2026
🕒 3:00 PM CET

This session is exclusively for ICOPLAST members.

Join us for a great discussion on advanced techniques in head and neck reconstruction.

Advancing the future of lymphatic surgery.

I’m grateful to join the Lymphatic Surgery Forum sponsored by Medical Microinstruments. Meetings like this allow surgeons to collaborate and refine techniques in robot-assisted supermicrosurgery, helping improve treatment options for patients suffering from Lymphedema.

Innovation, collaboration, and education remain the keys to moving our field forward.

One family. Three lives changed by craniofacial surgery.

A mother and her two children were born with Crouzon syndrome, a condition where the skull bones fuse too early, causing pressure on the brain and eyes.

I performed a complex Monobloc advancement, moving the forehead and midface forward as one unit to relieve pressure and protect vision.

These procedures are among the most complex surgeries in craniofacial reconstruction, but they can transform lives.

When facing a complex reconstructive procedure, the most important decision should be choosing the right surgeon—not being limited by insurance networks.

Procedures such as:
• Breast reconstruction after mastectomy
• Lymphedema surgery
• Facial reconstruction
• Revision reconstructive surgery

often require highly specialized expertise and experience.

A PPO insurance plan with out-of-network benefits can give patients the freedom to seek care from surgeons who have extensive experience in complex reconstructive procedures.

Your health, your recovery, and your results deserve careful consideration.
Expertise and trust matter.

If you or someone you love is facing reconstructive surgery, it’s worth understanding what options your insurance plan provides.

Lipedema & End-Stage Lymphedema: There Are Treatment Options

Many patients live for years with lipedema or advanced lymphedema, experiencing pain, heaviness, swelling, and difficulty with mobility. These conditions are not simply cosmetic—they are chronic medical diseases affecting the lymphatic and fatty tissue of the legs.

One effective treatment option is suction lipectomy (specialized liposuction), a surgical technique used to remove diseased subcutaneous fat and improve symptoms such as:

• Pain and tenderness
• Limb heaviness and swelling
• Reduced mobility and quality of life
• Recurrent infections

When performed for medical indications, suction lipectomy may be considered medically necessary. In many cases, health insurance may provide coverage when appropriate documentation and evaluation are completed.

Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.

If you or someone you know is struggling with lipedema or advanced lymphedema, consultation with a surgeon experienced in lymphatic and reconstructive surgery is important.

Visiting Northwell Health and spending time with Dr. Bradley at Lenox Hill Hospital.

Always valuable to connect with leaders who are pushing the boundaries of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Grateful for the exchange of ideas, techniques, and perspectives.

Collaboration moves our field forward.

New York City visit with my longtime friend and colleague, Dr. Adam Schaffner.

We trained together in plastic surgery from 2007–2009, and it’s been inspiring to watch each other grow over the years.

Congratulations to Adam on his stunning new state-of-the-art surgical center and his thriving aesthetic practice in NYC. Excellence, vision, and dedication truly show.

Always grateful to reconnect with leaders in our field who continue to elevate the standards of plastic surgery.

Complex reconstruction is my foundation. It remains my commitment.

With 15 years of experience in facial reconstruction, I continue to provide the most complex reconstructive surgery.

Now, I am expanding into advanced facial aesthetic surgery—guided by anatomy and executed with the most sophisticated surgical techniques.

Cancer and radiation took away a nose, upper jaw and the roof of the mouth, and midface.
We rebuilt it—layer by layer—using forearm skin for nasal lining, forehead skin for the external nose, and leg bone to reconstruct the upper jaw and palate—restoring both form and function.

This kind of reconstruction is never “just surgery.” It’s courage, trust, and teamwork.
And in the middle of this journey, the patient—who is also an artist—painted my portrait as a gift. A powerful reminder that healing is creative, too.

Shared with the patient’s consent to share their picture and story for education.

Farewell Bangkok 🇹🇭

What a meaningful visit back to Thammasat University Hospital — where I had the chance to share my experience in building and growing a reconstructive surgery program over the past 15 years.

Congratulations to Dr. GibbWananya Gib Phochaifor organizing such a great academic event, and to the Thammasat reconstructive surgery team for building a strong and inspiring program that continues to grow.

It was also a special moment reconnecting with our 7th microsurgery fellow Suphalerk Lohasammakul, who completed his fellowship in July 2024 after performing over 180 free flaps in one year. I’m so proud to see how far he has come — his skill, dedication, and humility are exactly what define a true reconstructive microsurgeon.

Bangkok never fails to remind me why teaching and mentoring the next generation is the most rewarding part of what we do.
