• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

   Although plastic surgery can be cosmetic, this type of intricate surgery is often repair and reconstruction due to accidents, injury, illness or prior surgery. Patients often need emergency plastic surgery.

Reconstructive plastic surgery is often performed to correct acquired or congenital abnormalities such as cleft lip or cleft palate, facial bone fractures, tumors, or to compensate for tissue removed in cancer or other surgery. 

"ELIH has a caring, competent reputation which gave me confidence going in for the procedure. The nurses were outstanding . they tended to both me and my worried husband.and Dr. Emanuele is a miracle maker."

       

Plastic surgery procedures include both cosmetic enhancements as well as functionally reconstructive operations. In the former case, where aesthetics are considered more important than functionality, plastic surgery is sometimes referred to as cosmetic surgery. Most procedures involve both aesthetic and functional elements. The word "plastic" derives from the Greek plastikos meaning to mold or to shape; its use here is not connected with the synthetic polymer material known as plastic. Plastic surgeons typically mold and reshape the following tissues of the body: bone, cartilage, muscle, fat, and skin.
