Clinical anaplastology · Buffalo, New York
At the intersection of art & science.
Anaplastologists work alongside surgeons and physicians to create custom prostheses for the face, eye and body, restoring appearance, function and quality of life for people facing difficult conditions.
Custom prostheses
Each prosthesis is made for one person.
We offer a full range of soft tissue prostheses for the face and body. Every prosthesis is sculpted, color matched and finished for one patient, using medical-grade silicone and a blend of traditional artistry and 3D technology.
Your consultation, design and every adjustment happen in one place, with the same clinician from start to finish.
Patients and families
Start with a conversation.
Care begins with a consultation where we listen to your goals and explain the options. We welcome patients to see us so we can discuss your needs and guide you through individualized care.

Involve us early.

3D scanning and reproduction
The same scanning and printing tools we use in clinical care support work outside the clinic.
Art reproduction
Laser and structured-light scanning capture the detail, texture and contour of sculptures, paintings and other artworks, so they can be preserved digitally or reproduced faithfully in three dimensions.
Part reproduction
Precise digital capture of automotive, architectural and industrial parts supports reverse engineering, rapid prototyping and on-demand replacement parts.
