Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done. 

Dedicated to the field of aesthetic plastic surgery, Dr. Gerut has been a member of — and has lectured internationally at the meetings of — the prestigious American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. His innovations in cosmetic surgery have led to numerous newspaper and magazine articles, as well as national and international television appearances.
