Dr. Low's practice involves the full spectrum of adult and pediatric plastic surgery, with particular interest in microsurgery, laser treatment of vascular malformations, cleft lip and palate surgery, and reconstructive options following trauma or cancer surgery. Cosmetic procedures include facial and body contouring, and laser skin resurfacing. Academic interests are primarily in the area of medical illustration.

David W. Low, MD, representing Penn Surgery, throws first pitch at Citizens Bank Park on September 18, 2010. (watch video)
