Dr. Sean Younai, MD

Dr. Younai has been educated and trained to a degree that makes him a uniquely qualified hand and wrist surgeon, a true hand specialist. He has a rare combination of the artistic skills vital to a plastic surgeon as well as extensive Hand and Microsurgery fellowship training at one of the most prestigious Hand Surgery Institutions at the University of Pittsburgh. He followed this by more training in Reconstructive Surgery fellowship at Lahey Clinic, affiliated with Harvard medical program.

Dr. Younai is a Board-Certified Hand, Plastic & Reconstructive surgeon, and a top hand specialist in Los Angeles. He received his medical degree at the University of California Los Angeles. He also went on to receive further training in general surgery at University of California San Francisco, and followed all this with a wound healing research fellowship at University of Southern California.

His combination of skills has resulted in a plastic surgeon with an uncommon attention to detail that is vital to restoring mobility and function to an area you use so much in life – your hands. Patients requiring surgery to their hands or wrists pose a particularly difficult challenge to a surgeon and Dr. Younai has a complete understanding of the underlying mechanics and communications systems of the area needed to bring about successful outcomes.
