Francisco G. Colón, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Francisco Colón is a dedicated and experienced plastic surgeon able to expertly perform all cosmetic surgery procedures of the face, breast and body. He has special interest in facial rejuvenation including facelift, eyelid lift, brow and neck lift and the use of Botox and injectable fillers like Juvéderm. He has also become one of New Jersey’s most respected plastic surgeons and as such is very often referred as a top surgeon choice for breast reconstruction surgeries, applying both artistic and flawless technical skills to provide his reconstruction patients the quality of a normal life following their breast cancer surgeries and additional treatments.
Dr. Colón is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and belongs to multiple top-level professional organizations. He earned his medical degree at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and went on to join The Peer Group in 1995 after completing his plastic surgery training and fellowship at the Harvard Medical School. Dr. Colón came by his work quite naturally, growing up observing his father, a respected surgeon in Puerto Rico. Dr. Colón was drawn to plastic surgery because of the artistic, creative and technical qualities of this field of medicine. Patients find Dr. Colón to be a focused and exacting practitioner whose goal is to work in conjunction with the patient to achieve the best possible result.
Dr. Colón currently serves as the Chief of the Section of Plastic Surgery at Morristown Medical Center in Morristown, New Jersey. In addition to his leading role of that organization, Dr. Colón maintains a dedication to charitable work. He has participated as a volunteer surgeon with the Healing the Children organization in a mission to Thailand to help children with congenital deformities.
In his spare time, Dr. Colón enjoys skiing and golf and joins his wife in cheering on the hockey, lacrosse, football and soccer achievements of their three children.
Dr. Colón says, “In plastic surgery, we are usually trying to reconstruct a particular problem, whether it is related to cancer, trauma, or just aging. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing what you can do with your hands and your imagination.”
