Why Choose Thibodaux Regional Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic for Reconstructive Surgery?
Subspecialty Training
Dr. Veith earned his medical degree from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans and completed his Surgery Internship at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin. He went on to complete a Fellowship in Plastic Surgery Research and his Integrated Plastic Surgery residency at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, bringing rigorous, multidisciplinary training to every reconstructive case.
Professional Membership
Dr. Veith is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, reflecting his commitment to upholding the highest standards in both reconstructive and cosmetic care.
Coordinated Care at Thibodaux Regional Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic
Dr. Veith works alongside oncologists, dermatologists, and other specialists within the Thibodaux Regional system to coordinate reconstructive care with the broader treatment plan. Patients benefit from a connected medical team without the need to travel to New Orleans or Baton Rouge for complex procedures.
Deep Louisiana Roots
Dr. Veith and his wife, Veronica, grew up in New Orleans with family throughout Acadiana. Returning to Louisiana was a career decision and a homecoming. He says Thibodaux Regional was an obvious match, and he is proud to serve patients across Lafourche Parish and the broader Gulf Coast region close to where they live and recover.
Personalized Treatment Planning
No two reconstructive cases are alike. Dr. Veith evaluates each patient's condition individually and develops a surgical plan aligned with their recovery goals, timeline, and anatomy.
Reconstructive Surgery Services at Thibodaux Regional Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic
Burn Reconstruction
Significant burns can cause scarring, contracture, and functional limitation that persist long after the initial injury heals. Reconstructive surgery can help restore mobility, reduce scarring, and improve the appearance of affected areas.
Craniofacial Fractures
Fractures of the face and skull require precise surgical management to restore both structure and appearance. Dr. Veith addresses fractures of the orbit, cheekbones, jaw, and other craniofacial structures with techniques designed to support proper healing and facial symmetry.
Earlobe Repair
Torn, stretched, or damaged earlobes from trauma, gauges, or years of heavy earring wear can be surgically repaired to restore a natural contour. Recovery is typically straightforward, and the earlobe can often be re-pierced after full healing.
Ear Reduction
For patients with disproportionately large ears relative to their facial features, ear reduction surgery can bring the ears into a more balanced proportion. Dr. Veith tailors the approach based on each patient's anatomy and goals.
Laceration Repair
Deep or complex lacerations, particularly those involving the face, hands, or other visible areas, benefit from surgical closure techniques that prioritize healing and appearance. Careful laceration repair at the time of injury or shortly after can significantly reduce long-term scarring.
Scar Revision
Scars resulting from prior surgeries, injuries, or burns may affect appearance and, in some cases, restrict movement. Scar revision techniques range from minimally invasive options to surgical excision, with the goal of improving the look of the scar and helping it blend more naturally with surrounding skin.
Skin Cancer Reconstruction
Following the surgical removal of skin cancer, including post-Mohs procedures, reconstruction focuses on closing defects in a way that restores appearance and minimizes visible scarring. Dr. Veith collaborates with dermatologists and oncologists to plan skin cancer reconstruction in coordination with each patient's treatment.
Wound Reconstruction
Chronic or complex wounds that have not responded to conventional wound care may require surgical intervention. Dr. Veith evaluates the cause, location, and severity of the wound to determine whether flap coverage, skin grafting, or another reconstructive approach is most appropriate.
What to Expect at Thibodaux Regional Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic
Initial Consultation
Every reconstructive case begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Veith reviews your medical history and the condition being addressed, explains which procedures apply to your situation, and discusses what recovery realistically looks like. This is also the right time to raise any questions or concerns before moving forward.
Surgical Planning
For patients whose reconstructive needs are connected to cancer treatment or care from another specialist, Dr. Veith coordinates directly with the relevant providers at Thibodaux Regional Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic. This collaborative model helps align surgical timing with the overall treatment plan.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Recovery varies by procedure. After surgery, Dr. Veith provides detailed aftercare guidance and monitors healing through follow-up appointments at the clinic on North Acadia Road. Our patients are encouraged to reach out between visits with any questions.
