With approximately one out of every eight women developing breast cancer in their lifetimes, it seems that most Americans know someone who has been affected by this disease. While not all women who have breast cancer need a mastectomy or lumpectomy to remove breast tissue, many do. These women must then decide whether they are interested in reconstructing their breast(s).
The start of October marks the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so the team at Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery wishes to let women know about the breast reconstruction services we offer. Our plastic surgeons specialize in this procedure and are known throughout North Carolina as some of the best reconstructive surgeons, which is why so many doctors refer their patients to us for this type of care.
Experienced Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgeons
Dr. Garrett Harper is a double board-certified plastic surgeon who receives top marks from his breast reconstruction patients. (See a testimonial from a former breast reconstruction patient.) Dr. Harper has become well-known in the local medical community for his signature nipple tattooing technique that achieves realistic looking areolas/nipples.
Dr. Evon Zoog, the newest addition to Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery, arrived with extensive breast reconstruction experience of his own. He trained under the country’s best plastic surgeons and had the privilege of performing more than 100 flap breast reconstruction procedures with Dr. R. Jobe Fix, one of the country’s foremost microsurgeons. Like Dr. Harper, Dr. Zoog names breast reconstruction as one of his top specialties.
Compassionate Care Is What Makes Us Different
Our surgeons take pride in improving the lives of our patients and make their well-being a primary concern. While this applies to our patients for any treatment they seek, it is especially true of breast reconstruction patients. We understand that our breast reconstruction patients are patients who have been through a difficult ordeal and may have never imagined they would undergo plastic surgery in their lives. We go above and beyond to provide patients with all the necessary information so that they can make a decision that brings them happiness.
Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery is not just a plastic surgery center where breast reconstruction is one of the many procedures we offer; we are a team of breast reconstruction experts who love being able to help breast cancer patients feel comfortable in their own bodies again.
