Prof. Dr. med. Lior Geller
Department of Adult and Pediatric Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery
Specialized in: adult and pediatric plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at Shamir Medical Center Beer Yaakov
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Shamir Medical Center Be'er Ya'akov offers high-quality performance of the full range of surgical interventions in the area of its specialization. The department's surgeons have advanced technology for complex plastic surgical procedures with minimal risk to health and good cosmetic results. The department performs both aesthetic plastic interventions to correct the appearance at the patient's own request and reconstructive interventions to eliminate the consequences after tumor removal, congenital or acquired defects, burns, etc. The department also deals with the treatment of chronic wounds and trophic ulcers. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Lior Geller.
The medical facility also specializes in non-surgical aesthetic procedures for rejuvenation and improvement of the appearance. The most popular procedures in this field include botox and hyaluronic acid injections, autologous adipose tissue injections (lipofilling), laser procedures, cosmetic procedures using trichloroacetic acid, various peels, etc. The prescription of a particular procedure is preceded by a consultation, during which the highly specialized expert tells about possible options for improvement of the appearance, their advantages and disadvantages, and also selects the most optimal procedure for the patient on an individual basis.
The special feature of the department is vast experience in the field of plastic surgery in children and adolescents. The team of pediatric plastic surgeons admits patients from 0 to 18 years old. The main specialization of the department is the correction of birth defects, particularly cleft lip and palate, everted ears, scars, birthmarks. It also performs surgical procedures to correct the body after losing weight in adolescents, as well as surgery to treat gynecomastia in boys.
The department's surgeons have successful experience in MOHS micrographic surgery for skin cancer treatment. These operations are usually performed on an outpatient basis; under local or general anesthesia depending on the size of the tumor. Such methods as classical surgery, neoplasm removal with liquid nitrogen, laser removal, phototherapy, topical treatment with Efudix or Aldara ointments and other methods are also available for the treatment of skin tumors. However, MOHS surgery is one of the most effective treatment methods for skin cancer. The treatment success rate varies from 97% to 99.8%. In addition, such an operation maximally preserves healthy surrounding tissues and guarantees excellent aesthetic results.
