Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, alteration, or enhancement of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and artistic techniques to get the job done.

With a wealth of scientific know-how, Dr. Rotemberg is a world leader in her industry, having worked at the highest levels of plastic surgery.
