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?
The good news is that hand surgery can offer significant improvements to your life. By meticulously addressing the intricate anatomy of the hand, this specialized surgery at Howland Plastic Surgery seeks to restore functionality, reduce pain, and enhance the overall quality of life for patients.

Howland Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft.
AMAZING!!! I interviewed 4 Plastic Surgeons before I met with Dr Howland and the minute I met him I knew he was my Surgeon. Best decision I could have made. My body reacted poorly to my Surgery...nothing to do with Dr Howland. His whole Office jumped in. The Nurses are TOP NOTCH...Jenn my girl..Avery who came to the Hospital to assist with a procedure...and everyone else even if not mentioned by name. Melissa at the Front Desk is like a Girlfriend. They have the best formula for choosing a Team. The other Plastic Surgeons that came to help...and called to check up on me. Dr Howland is always available by cell phone. No matter where or what he is doing Despite what happened I LOVE my results..BETTER than I had dreamed...would go back here for anything else, and refer anyone I know here!!! You feel like Family here...not a Patient Thank You to Everyone Lorrie Tomac

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.
