How Is Hand Surgery Performed?
Reconstructive hand surgery is a highly personalized medical procedure tailored to the specific needs and conditions of the patient. The surgery aims to improve hand function, which may be achieved through a single procedure or necessitate multiple surgeries to address various abnormalities. Grafting is a common surgical technique that involves the transfer of healthy tissue from other parts of the body to the hand to replace or repair damaged areas. Another method involves the redistribution of fat, muscle, or skin within the hand or from other parts of the body to improve the functionality and appearance of the hand, addressing issues like scars, loss of tissue volume, or irregular contours. Microsurgical techniques play a pivotal role in cases of significant injuries. These highly intricate surgeries are performed under a microscope and involve reattaching severed parts of the hand, such as fingers, by carefully connecting tiny blood vessels and nerves.
What Are the Benefits of Hand Surgery?

Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again.
Dr Howlands office was really great at taking good care of me! He made me feel so comfortable and was very honest and transparent. Really professional and great hospitality :)
