The myFace Center

Founded in 1955 with the support of myFace, the Center at the Hansjörg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery (formerly known as the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery / IRPS) is housed in a state-of-the-art facility that contains 15 Centers of Excellence, faculty clinical offices and full-service outpatient operating rooms. Every member of the attending staff holds NYU School of Medicine academic appointments. The Center conducts one of the largest plastic surgery educational programs in the world, and its research program has made major contributions in the areas of transplantation, wound healing, craniofacial biology, computer graphics and distraction osteogenesis.
