Delray Dermatology + Cosmetic Center<br />

Welcomes our Plastic Surgeon!<br />
Born in Canada, raised in<br />
Haiti, Plastic Surgery trained in<br />
Brazil and the United States.<br />
In my journey to become a Plastic Surgeon, I completed General<br />
Surgery residency at the University Hospital in Port-au-Prince<br />
during a period of political instability and violence. It was a<br />
struggle to strive for excellence, as the real challenge was not just to<br />
save lives but also to improve the quality of life of my patients. I subsequently<br />
travelled to Brazil, where I completed a Plastic Surgery<br />
residency at the prestigious Ivo Pitanguy Institute. There, I learned<br />
cutting edge surgical techniques developed to satisfy the demands<br />
of the diverse Brazilian and International patients seeking our care.<br />
It was there that I began my research in adipose stem cells. As I<br />
traveled to the United States to present the results of our pioneering<br />
study, I became impressed and overwhelmed by the American<br />
engine of medical research and education. I was fortunate to obtain<br />
a year later a grant to continue my research in adipose-derived<br />
stem cells at the University of Maryland, complete a clinical fellowship<br />
in Burn Surgery at Johns Hopkins University and a six-year<br />

residency in Plastic and Reconstructive<br />
Surgery at Rutgers New Jersey Medical<br />
School allowing me to work as a plastic<br />
surgeon in the United States.<br />
I am thrilled to be one of the few female<br />
plastic surgeons in the Delray<br />
Beach community and to join the wonderful<br />
team of the Delray Dermatology +<br />
Cosmetic Center headed by the talented<br />
Dr. Francesca Lewis, where I will do<br />
among other surgical procedures skin<br />
cancer excisions and reconstruction after<br />
Mohs procedures. We are now offering<br />
at the center a broad range of plastic<br />
surgery procedures of the face and body<br />
with a particular interest in regenerative<br />
plastic surgery, fat grafting and aesthetic<br />
cosmetic surgery.<br />
A fat grafting procedure transfers fat<br />
from areas in which you have excess<br />
fat, such as the abdomen, back or outer<br />
thighs, and injects it into areas that may<br />
be lacking in volume (such as your face,<br />
hands, breasts, buttocks) or that may<br />
need healing such as burns and scars.<br />
This safe, long-lasting, well-tolerated procedure produces naturallooking<br />
results and great patient satisfaction.<br />
I am enthusiastic in applying the latest plastic surgery techniques<br />
and incorporate innovative uses of regenerative surgery acquired<br />
in Brazil and the United States, the countries with the most plastic<br />
surgery procedures performed in the world according to International<br />
Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).<br />
With members of our staff fluent in English, French, Portuguese,<br />
Creole and Spanish, we are welcoming all of you to experience the<br />
best in Dermatology, Aesthetics, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery<br />
that Delray Dermatology + Cosmetic Center has to offer.<br />
