Experience Matters
The plastic surgery experts at Northwestern Medicine offer innovative, effective solutions for a wide range of reconstructive options including use of your own tissues or prosthetic implants. Dr. Michael A. Howard's promise is personalized, comprehensive and compassionate care that will help to restore your body image and confidence. His training and decades of experience in advanced micro-surgery provides additional surgical and treatment options for your individualized plan of care.

Your Own Tissues
We specialize in breast reconstruction using your own tissue - a leading-edge option for women preferring to avoid the use of synthetic materials.

We value building relationships with our patients and are committed to listening, understanding your needs.
