Val Plastic Surgery

Dr. Sybile Val is a fully trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon dedicated to providing her patients with compassionate care in a private, warm and safe environment. Dr. Val earned her bachelors degree in Biology from Adelphi University in Garden City, NY. It was there that she discovered her passion for helping and teaching others. As a chemistry teaching assistant, she began honing her teaching skills. Upon completion of her bachelor's degree, she attended medical school at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. As a full-time medical student, she also served as a substitute teacher for the Dayton Public School System, as well as a student tutor for junior medical school students. Subsequent to medical school, she completed a vigorous general surgery residency program at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn, NY. She then ventured south, completing a three-year plastic and reconstructive surgery training program at LSU in New Orleans. While at LSU, she underwent intense micro-surgical training in both trauma and breast reconstruction at numerous hospitals, including University Hospital (formerly known as Charity Hospital). She worked with pioneers in New Orleans who helped develop the DIEP flap for breast reconstruction. Her interest in breast reconstruction led to numerous presentations at national and international meetings, as well as performance of more than 200 micro-vascular breast and trauma reconstructions. She was able to do all this while honing her aesthetic skills. Her interest in cosmetic surgery – and fat grafting in particular – led to her participate in research projects on fat grafting as well as presentations on the topic at national meetings. As a surgeon, Dr. Val appreciates and understands the need for non-surgical options. Thus, she also enjoys helping her patients reach their goals non-surgically, if possible. She enjoys procedures such as soft tissue fillers and neurotoxins, and she takes every opportunity to teach patients about quality skin care. She believes in providing all of her patients with a detailed and thorough evaluation, where questions are not only encouraged, but expected. She’s been known to quiz patients at the end of a consultation to ensure they fully understand their condition and surgical options.
