The Roots of Plastic Surgery Expertise

Modern plastic surgery has its roots in the reconstructive techniques developed during World War I, when surgeons treated complex injuries such as burns, craniofacial trauma, and extremity wounds. This groundbreaking work laid the foundation for restoring form and function in patients, shaping the field of reconstructive surgery. Every plastic surgeon begins their career in this discipline, applying these principles to trauma, cancer, and soft tissue injuries. Over time, these techniques evolved into the advanced methods now used in cosmetic surgery.

For Dr. Shenker and Dr. Ma, reconstructive surgery is more than a starting point—it’s a cornerstone of their expertise. Both surgeons are extensively trained in managing trauma and breast cancer reconstruction and were instrumental in founding the regional breast reconstruction program at Cambridge Memorial Hospital. Their dedication to precision, patient care, and restoring natural aesthetics defines their work as exceptional plastic surgeons today.

What Sets Us Apart

Women and men considering an aesthetic procedure or plastic surgery benefit from the combined talents and experience of our surgeons. This benefits patients in a number of ways:

• We share our unique perspectives and insights during preoperative planning so your procedure goes smoothly and we get consistently beautiful results.
• If you’re combining procedures in a single operation, such as breast augmentation and a tummy tuck, having the eyes and skills of two surgeons results in a safer, more efficient surgery with a superior outcome.
• During the postoperative recovery phase, a surgeon is always available to answer questions or respond to concerns at any time of day or night.

Additionally, our entire staff shares a passion for exceptional patient care delivered with compassion and professionalism. Their warmth, along with the beautiful surroundings at our clinic, will help you to relax and focus on the exciting road ahead.

A Foundation of Trust

The most important aspect of the provider-patient relationship is trust. We build that trust by listening to you, your cosmetic goals, and the reasons that led you to our clinic. Using our knowledge and training, we collaborate with you to devise a treatment plan designed to meet your goals in a way that exceeds your expectations.

We appreciate that you have options when choosing a plastic surgery practice. Our goal is not simply to win you over as a patient but to establish a long-term relationship that extends well beyond your final follow-up appointment. At our clinic, all patients are encouraged to follow up with us once a year. We are by your side forever!

The Female Perspective

Many women considering cosmetic surgery feel more comfortable with a surgeon who personally understands the physical and emotional issues faced by a woman. We are one of the few practices where patients have the choice to meet with a male or a female surgeon.
