Plastic SurgeryLanguages:
EnglishI am passionate about educating patients, guiding them through their options and creating individualized treatment plans to meet their goals. My practice focuses on restoring both form and function, combining technical excellence with compassionate, patient-centered care.
As a board-eligible plastic and reconstructive surgeon with advanced fellowship training in microsurgery, I specialize in complex reconstructive procedures, including breast reconstruction, limb salvage and oncologic reconstruction of the head and neck.
I completed my plastic surgery training at the University of Wisconsin. I underwent additional fellowship training in microsurgery at the University of Pennsylvania, one of the nation’s leading programs in complex reconstructive surgery.
In addition to reconstructive surgery, I offer a full range of elective procedures, emphasizing natural, balanced results.
Outside of the operating room, I am committed to advancing the field of plastic surgery through research and teaching. I enjoy mentoring trainees and sharing my expertise in microsurgical techniques.

I never felt rushed and he was super focused on getting my complex medical history right to help determine the right option for me.

“I'm currently preparing for breast reconstruction surgery following a double mastectomy, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Albano as my plastic surgeon. From our first meeting, he has been open, honest, and truly compassionate. He takes the time to explain every detail, answer my questions with patience, and make sure I feel informed and supported at every step. Even though my surgery hasn't taken place yet, I already feel confident that I'll be well cared for before, during, and after the procedure. I'm so grateful to be in such capable and caring hands.”
