Henderson Breast Reconstruction

If you're considering fat grafting it’s important to ask some key questions before you make decisions. Knowing the right things can help you make a smart choice about your body. Take your time and get the information you need.

Congratulations to one of our amazing plastic surgery research fellows here at Mount Sinai, Ethan Fung () for being selected to present his work at the New York Surgical Society meeting at the Penn Club last night. Great job!

Wondering why fat grafting might be a better choice than synthetic fillers? Here’s a simple breakdown 👇🏽

With fat grafting, we take a small amount of fat from one part of your body (like your stomach or thighs) and use it to add volume to areas like your face or breasts. Unlike fillers, which are made of synthetic materials and need regular touch-ups, fat grafting uses your own fat, which can last longer and look more natural.

Not only does this reduce the chance of any allergic reaction, but it also lets you shape two areas at once. It’s more like a sustainable, organic option that adjusts with you as you age.

The BC3 (Breast Cancer Coordinated Care) conference hosted at Mount Sinai in conjunction with Georgetown is only 1 day away. Great lineup of speakers. Register today, and we’ll see you there!

Fat grafting is a powerful, natural approach to volume restoration and enhancement, whether it’s for a more sculpted look or to smooth out areas that have lost fullness over time. We gently take fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, process it, and then place it in areas that need a little boost. Think of it as a natural way to enhance your shape, using what’s already yours. It’s safe, long-lasting, and delivers a soft, natural look.

Today is Election Day in USA. We encourage everyone to utilize their right to vote!

Excited for the return of BC3 (Breast Cancer Coordinated Care), this weekend in NYC at Mount Sinai, in conjunction with the Georgetown faculty. Carrying on the legacy of the late great Dr Scott Spear, it will be a great three-day conference that will cover all aspects of the care of patients with breast cancer. Registration is open, and we hope to see as many of you as possible there!

There are patients that have had a second operation to remove the capsule with success. There are options as well to use a graft material called Acellular Dermal Matrix during surgery after a capsulectomy (the operation to remove the capsule). This is not foolproof, but some studies have demonstrated decreased contracture rates after use of this material. This does require drains for 5+ days, and there is additional cost associated with use of this material. This option should be carefully discussed before surgery.

While capsular contracture is not super common, there are a few things that can raise the risk. The good news? We take every precaution to minimize this risk and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. If you have any concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to discuss your options and post-op care.

Nothing makes us happier than hearing from our patients. Here's what this patient had to say about her experience with us.

Your feedback means the world to us. Have you had a positive experience with us? Share it below 😊

Did you know❓

Animation deformity is commonly triggered by the movement of chest muscles after breast reconstruction using breast implants. This occurs when implants are placed beneath the muscle, leading to shifting or distortion when flexing.

Fortunately, specialized procedures can correct this condition, restoring a natural appearance and comfort. If you're noticing unnatural movement in your implants, we're here to help with expert solutions to address and correct this issue.

Here’s Mount Sinai’s lineup for today (Thursday) at in Austin. Looking forward to some great talks by just a few of the rising stars on our fantastic research team (swipe to see details about each of them). But hope you didn’t have any other plans around 330pm, because we’re going to try to be in multiple spots at the same time…
