Two are Better than One, Breast Surgeons return to answer questions.
Two are better than one Breast surgeons:
This is a model where two breast surgeons (myself and Dr. Mark Cripe) collaborate and operate together to perform double mastectomies. Over the last several years, Dr. Mark Cripe and I performed several double mastectomies together. We are both fellowship trained breast surgeons and we train residents and breast surgery fellow (who is already a general surgeon but getting another additional year of training to become a fellowship trained breast surgeon).
We perform a variety of surgeries together for women who opt surgery for both breasts:
Total/simple mastectomies without reconstruction
Skin sparing mastectomies with reconstruction
Nipple sparing mastectomies with reconstruction
Sensation preserving mastectomies with reconstruction,
Goldilocks mastectomies,
Mastectomies with aesthetic flat closure
Mastectomies with VY- advancement flap
This model has several advantages:
Expertise, skill sharing, efficiency, increased patient confidence and comprehensive care
Overall, the "Two are better than One" approach in breast surgery is a thoughtful strategy aimed at providing high-quality, specialized care to women undergoing double mastectomies and reconstruction.
