Dr. Fudem has led more than 40 trips to underdeveloped countries in South America, Asia and Africa to treat those with congenital and burn deformities. Most recently, he traveled to Guatemala and El Salvador to operate on children with xeroderma pigmentosa, a rare birth defect that leaves kids completely unprotected from the sun so that they develop disfiguring skin cancers in infancy and often die from these by their early teens. He has also operated on young women in India and Bangladesh victimized by domestic abuse called “dowry burning.”
Dr. Fudem is a reconstructive plastic surgeon and cosmetic surgeon. He has unique expertise in:
- Skin aesthetics
- Reverse-aging treatments
- Facial rejuvenation surgery under local anesthesia
- Skin resurfacing with deep chemical peels (including the phenol-croton oil peel)
In fact, he is one of the few cosmetic surgeons in the New England area who perform the phenol-croton oil peel. This process essentially erases all facial wrinkles, tones the skin and eliminates precancerous spots.
