Some of the topics related to breast reconstruction that patients most often ask about include:

Autologous Breast Reconstruction

In autologous breast reconstruction surgery, Dr. Lerman uses a woman's natural tissue to restore her breast. Because of his specialized training in microvascular surgery, Dr. Lerman is able to use the state-of-the-art DIEP flap technique.

Corrective Breast Reconstruction

The results of surgery to reconstruct the breasts can change over time. Dr. Lerman performs corrective operations on previously reconstructed breasts (both autologous and implant-based) to renew a woman's natural form.

Restoring Sensation with Nerve Grafting

Traditionally, reconstructive breast surgery was not able to restore sensation to the nipple after a mastectomy. However, thanks to modern advances in plastic surgery, Dr. Lerman is able to reconnect nerves when performing autologous procedures to restore sensation.
