Patients who are getting mastectomies are not the only ones who could benefit from a plastic surgeon. The term "Onco-Plastics" represents a growing new field highlighting the collaboration between the general surgeon and plastic surgeon in delivering the best oncologic and aesthetic surgical care for the patient. It is a principle that Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu use for all their breast reconstruction patients. In patients with a large or hanging breast (also known as a "ptotic" breast), special incisions can be used to remove the tumor while reshaping and rejuvenating the breast. Working closely with your general surgeon or breast surgeon, Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu will design skin excision patterns for ease of tumor access while maximizing healing and hiding the scar.
