Brain Tumor Surgery
Preserving appearance following tumor removal
Preserving Form | Restoring Function
Neuroplastic surgery is a new surgical specialty developed at Johns Hopkins. By bridging the gap between neurosurgery and plastic surgery, we ensure patients have complete preservation or restoration of their preoperative appearance, providing them with an enhanced sense of confidence, health and happiness.
