Liza C. Wu, M.D.
Plastic Surgery
Liza C. Wu, M.D., MBA, FACS, is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a unique and extraordinary background. Having trained in both plastic surgery and breast cancer surgery, Dr. Wu is one of the few surgeons in the country that performs breast cancer removal as well as breast reconstruction. She is also world renowned in reconstructive microsurgery, where she uses tissues from one part of the body to reconstruct another part by transferring blood vessels and nerves.
In fact, that’s her favorite part of her job. “Restoring a woman’s body to where she feels more confident about herself is the most rewarding part of what I do.” Dr. Wu has treated thousands of women afflicted or affected by breast cancer. Dr. Wu sees every day how breast reconstruction changes her patients’ spirit. It makes them more comfortable and confident, allowing them to heal and helping them regain a part of themselves.
Dr. Wu has carried over this training and knowledge to her aesthetic practice, applying the same principles and goals. She has become the leading expert in breast aesthetics and body contouring. At her new office in Boca Raton, Privé Plastic Surgery, she can offer patients state-of-the-art procedures for the best results thanks to her education and training. Her goal is to provide clients seeking plastic surgery throughout the country with a destination in South Florida where they’ll experience an unprecedented level of care. “When I first meet a patient, I want to understand what made them walk through my door. I want them to know that I’ll travel with them through their journey, whether it’s breast reconstruction or a body makeover. I want them to feel like we’re a team, and together we’ll work to reach the same goals.”
Dr. Wu completed her undergraduate studies at Stanford University and earned her medical degree and training at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. She completed a microsurgery fellowship at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and a breast surgical oncology fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Wu received her MBA at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
