David Lavine

David Lavine (Med ’72) was recently honored by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Association of Plastic Surgeons for his proposal for the “ICON Project,” a video project that will honor living pioneers in the field of plastic surgery. Among the subjects Dr. Lavine has interviewed for the project is Dr. Milton Edgerton, who in 1970 established the department of plastic surgery at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and went on to break new ground in many areas of plastic surgery, including craniofacial surgery, head and neck tumor and reconstruction surgery, and gender reassignment surgery. Gerard Grau (Med ’72) and Mark Constantian (Med ’72 L/M) provided research assistance and support for the project.
