QUINCY — Dr. Arshad Muzaffar, board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, now is seeing patients at the Blessing Health Center, 4800 Maine.

The son of a surgeon, and a track and cross country athlete in college, Muzaffar thought he would be an orthopedic surgeon as a way to combine his interests in sports and surgery. However, an experience in medical school changed his life.

“I saw a photograph of a child with cleft lip and palate – before and after surgery. It captured my imagination,” Muzaffar said. “The more I learned about plastic and reconstructive surgery, the more I found it interested, excited and stimulated me.”

Muzaffar is a graduate of the Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn. He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery/Hand Surgery. 

Muzaffar performs the cosmetic procedures patients expect of a plastic surgeon. He also performs microsurgery for hand and reattachment procedures, and craniofacial surgery to correct issues of the head, skull, face and neck.

He completed an internship in general surgery and residency in general and plastic surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas; a fellowship in craniofacial surgery/pediatric plastic surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine and Seattle Children’s Hospital, Seattle; and a fellowship in hand/microsurgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, Dallas.
