Reconstructive & Restorative Surgery

Restoring Form, Function, and Quality of Life

Plastic surgery is about far more than appearance.

For more than 26 years, Bangor Plastic and Hand Surgery has helped patients recover from cancer, injury, congenital conditions, nerve disorders, chronic wounds, and the effects of aging by restoring both function and appearance.

Our philosophy is simple: successful reconstruction should not only repair what has been lost—it should help patients return to the activities, confidence, and quality of life they enjoyed before illness or injury whenever possible.

Whether restoring a hand after trauma, reconstructing a breast following cancer, relieving chronic nerve pain, treating difficult wounds, or investigating new regenerative therapies, our goal remains the same: thoughtful, individualized care built upon sound surgical principles and compassionate patient relationships.

Areas of Reconstructive Expertise

Our reconstructive practice includes evaluation and treatment of a wide range of conditions, including:

• Breast reconstruction following breast cancer
• Skin cancer reconstruction
• Hand and upper extremity injuries
• Tendon, nerve, and soft tissue injuries
• Peripheral nerve compression syndromes
• Carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and other nerve entrapments
• Migraine surgery and peripheral nerve decompression
• Occipital neuralgia
• Selected cases of diabetic peripheral neuropathy
• Chronic wounds that have failed conventional wound care
• Radiation-related soft tissue injury and radiation dermatitis
• Reconstructive fat grafting
• Refractory hair loss
• Scar revision and complex wound reconstruction
• Pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgery

Each condition is discussed in greater detail within the following sections of our website.

Innovation Through Reconstruction

Many of the advances in modern plastic surgery have come from reconstructive surgery.

Techniques originally developed to restore tissue after cancer or trauma now improve cosmetic surgery, while innovations in cosmetic surgery continue to enhance reconstructive outcomes.



Dr. Branch has incorporated autologous fat grafting into reconstructive surgery for well over a decade and continues to investigate additional regenerative applications through prospective clinical research. These studies seek to better understand how carefully selected biologic treatments may improve healing, restore tissue quality, reduce pain, and improve function while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and scientific integrity.

Our Philosophy

Every reconstructive problem is unique.

The best solution is rarely determined by a single diagnosis alone. Instead, successful reconstruction requires understanding the patient's anatomy, functional limitations, overall health, personal goals, and expectations.

Some patients require traditional reconstructive surgery.

Others benefit from microsurgical techniques, peripheral nerve surgery, fat grafting, or multidisciplinary care involving physicians from several specialties working together.

The consultation is where these possibilities come together into an individualized treatment plan.

Our goal is not simply to repair tissue.



It is to restore confidence, relieve discomfort, improve function, and help our patients return to living life as fully as possible.
