R. Dean Glassman, M.D.

Dr. Dean Glassman specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.  After completing his plastic surgical training at University Medical Center, now Shands University of Florida Medical Center in Jacksonville, Florida he completed his post graduate training at Johns Hopkins University.  Later, as chief of the Department of Plastic Surgery at University of Florida, Jacksonville Medical Center he trained surgeons as well as authoring scientific articles and presenting many plastic surgical papers and conferences.  After leaving academic medicine Dr. Glassman has been in private practice at Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville since 1994.  Dr. Glassman performs all types of cosmetic procedures of the face and body as well as a variety of reconstructive surgeries to rebuild and in many cases totally construct new structures in congenital deformities and post-cancer ablations.  "I believe that performing both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery enhance each other.  The experience drawn from each give one an added perspective as to the anatomical and aesthetic goals of surgery as well as its limitations."

For those who wish to enhance their appearance, today's cosmetic surgical procedures offer patients the opportunity to reshape physical features and  improve their self-esteem.

Modern reconstructive surgical procedures can eliminate or minimize a wide range of physical abnormalities caused by accidents, disease and congenital defects, enabling patients to enjoy full and normal lives.

Patients who undergo plastic surgery can look forward to gaining self confidence and a sense of well-being from looking, feeling and functioning at their best.  

The main focus of Dr. Glassman's practice is to provide the best in cosmetic surgical services to all our patients.  Every effort is made to ensure that our patients are comfortable with their decision for cosmetic surgery and are pleased with the results.

The objective of Reconstructive Surgery is to restore or improve function to abnormal structures of the body.  These are most often caused by birth defects, injury or disease.
