Siba Haykal, MD, PhD

Siba Haykal MD, PhD, FRCSC, FACS is the Chief of Surgical Bioengineering, the Vice-Chair of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the Director of the lymphedema program at Moffitt Cancer Center. She is a double board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon. She is an acclaimed specialist in microsurgical reconstruction and has research interests in breast reconstructive surgery and vascularized composite allotransplantation.

Dr Haykal has years of experience delivering care for breast cancer patients. She specializes in autologous based reconstruction (DIEP, PAP, SGAP, TUG, LD). She offers innovative techniques for restoration of breast sensation and immediate lymphatic reconstruction following lymph node dissection. She has extensive experience in treating lymphedema and offers lymphovenous bypass and lymph node transplantation. Dr Haykal also offers microsurgical treatment for skin cancers, head and neck cancers and sarcomas.

Dr. Haykal graduated from the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine in 2007 as class valedictorian and silver medalist, and subsequently completed her residency training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Toronto in 2016. During her residency, she completed a PhD in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and immunology, 

Dr. Haykal pursued fellowship training in microsurgical reconstruction at the Albany Medical Center in New York. She joins us after being the Chief of Reconstructive Oncology at the Yale School of Medicine Department of Surgery. 

She was named as an honoree for “Canada's Top 40 under 40” for 2021 and is the recipient of American Society for Reconstruction Microsurgery – Women in Microsurgery Travel Scholarship and the Hugh G. Thomson Humanitarian Award for her clinical, academic and research work, and is the author of over 100 peer-reviewed publications and has received numerous grants in the field of lymphedema and cancer outcomes.
