Dr. LoTempio is an amazing Plastic Surgeon. She makes you feel comfortable and confident. Her presence is very nurturing. Dr. LoTempio also gives you her straight and honest opinion. It is not about the money. She explains what you can realistically expect from the procedure, your health and your safety are her highest priority. Doctor LoTempio is fantastic! She answered every question I had. Before and After surgery she was very kind, patient as well as reassuring. She is 110 percent committed to creating the best possible outcome. I’m only about 10 days post-op at this point, but I feel fantastic and my results are better than I could have imagined. I really can’t say enough good things about Dr. LoTempio. I will definitely recommend her to others, not only for her surgical skill, but also for her willingness to keep in touch with her patients and provide long-term follow-up and support. ~ Google
- Areola Reshaping: Individuals may opt to undergo an areola reshaping procedure to correct inverted nipples or enlarged nipples acquired through genetics. The procedure consists of creating a periareolar incision around each areola, then removing the excess skin.
- Breast Implant Removal: Breast implants removal surgery and replacement is offered for patients seeking to achieve their desired chest aesthetic. Breast implants removal surgery may consist of an en bloc, partial capsulectomy, or total capsulectomy procedure, depending on the patient’s desired post-op result.
- Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: Implant-based breast reconstruction offers an acceptable cosmetic outcome without using tissue from the body.
- Nipple (Areola) Correction: Nipple correction surgery corrects problems associated with enlarged, asymmetrical, protruding, or inverted nipples and can be seen in both men and women.
- Nipple (Areola) Reconstruction: Nipple / Areola reconstruction allows the NYC plastic surgeon to put on the finishing touch for the best possible aesthetic outcome on your breast reconstruction surgery.
- Partial Breast Reconstruction: Reconstruction of partial breast defects is often called oncoplastic surgery. Many women are dissatisfied with the cosmetic appearance of their breasts after lumpectomy. Since every lumpectomy defect is unique, the options to reconstruct them vary from patient to patient.
- Revision Breast Reconstruction: Many breast cancer patients who have reconstruction end up having revision surgeries. Breast revision reconstruction is performed when the reconstructive surgery the patient initially received resulted in an aesthetically disappointing outcome.
- Secondary Breast Reduction / Lift: Secondary breast surgery is often performed on patients who desire corrective or revisional alterations to a prior surgery. Issues that may arise as a result of an insufficient breast reduction or breast lift surgery include sagging breasts, uniboob, bottoming out, asymmetrical breasts.
Cosmetic Breast Surgery (Plastic Surgery):
- Breast Augmentation (Breast Implants): Breast augmentation plastic surgery, or augmentation mammoplasty, uses breast implants to increases breast size, which improves symmetry, enhances appearance, and restores a confident self-image.
- Breast Lift | Mastopexy: A mastopexy lifts and reshapes breasts. Weight loss, pregnancy, and aging all can cause breasts to droop and lose their shape.
- Breast Reduction: Breast reduction plastic surgery involves an individualized approach, which is tailored to each patient, to improve the size, shape, and appearance of an overly large breast.
- Nipple Reduction: Nipple reduction surgery aims to change the size and shape of the areola (height and width) and restructure it to align its appearance with its pair. The main goal for nipple reduction surgery is to restore a more balanced and attractive chest contour, while making every effort to preserve nipple sensation.
- Revision Breast Augmentation: Breast implant removal, correction, and replacement are offered by the best in class NYC plastic surgeon.
Reconstructive Breast Surgery: The Breast Reconstruction Center of NYC offers the full spectrum of surgical options for breast reconstruction following a full or partial mastectomy. Our board-certified plastic surgeons have experience with utilizing your own (autologous) tissue for reconstructing either one or both breasts, if available, as well as the use of breast implants. We offer (1) Immediate Breast Reconstruction – working with your breast cancer surgeon in the hospital at the time of the cancer removal surgery to perform immediate breast reconstruction; (2) Delayed Breast Reconstruction – breast reconstruction after your breast cancer surgery; and (3) Revisions of breast reconstructions. It is never too late to consider breast reconstruction or a revision of a previous reconstruction.
Please note – insurance may cover your breast reconstruction surgery: The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 is a federal law requiring any insurance company covering a mastectomy (mastectomies) to also cover all stages of breast reconstruction, including surgery of the unaffected breast in order to produce a symmetrical appearance, as well as coverage for prostheses and treatment of physical complications. This applies to implant-based reconstruction as well as reconstruction using your body’s own tissues, regardless of whether these procedures are performed at the time of the mastectomy or at a later date. We will work closely with you and your insurance company to make sure you receive the full benefits to which you are entitled.
