New Clinic Ribbon Cutting

We are excited to announce the "ceremonial" opening of our new plastic and reconstructive surgery clinic in La Jolla, located at 4520 Executive Drive, Suite 100 & 101 happened on Monday October 19. The clinic officially opened its doors to patients on March 9, only to close the following Monday and reopen in June. Navigating the pandemic has been challenging, but we were happy to come together in a small group, masked, and socially distanced to hold the official UC San Diego Health Division of Plastic Surgery Ribbon Cutting.
The state-of-the-art facility offers comprehensive reconstruction with the expansion of microsurgical breast reconstruction, lymphedema reconstruction and lower extremity reconstruction, as well as cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures.
