Plastic surgery is a specialty that seeks to improve physical function, minimize disfigurement from accidents or birth defects, or reshape bodily features to improve an individual's appearance. The word plastic, derived from Greek, means to create form. The term plastic surgery was first used in 1796.
Plastic surgical procedures can improve appearance and renew self-confidence. The term Cosmetic Surgery is frequently used inter-changably with the term Plastic Surgery when the purpose is aesthetic improvement. Consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon is the first step an individual should take when considering cosmetic or reconstructive plastic surgery.
Dr. Denkler has been practicing medicine since 1989 in Marin County, California. His practice includes both plastic (aesthetic-cosmetic) and reconstructive surgery, including reconstructive hand surgery. Dr. Denkler has achieved board certification in both plastic and hand surgery and teaches as an associate professor of surgery at UCSF. Dr. Denkler is one of the few doctors offering treatment for Dupuytren's contracture using the French needle technique called NA (needle aponeurotomy), a type of subcutaneous fasciotomy for the finger contracture of Dupuytren.
Dr. Denkler's practice is located at 275 Magnolia Avenue in Larkspur, California (15 minutes North of the Golden Gate Bridge).
