Dr. Nolan Karp, a prominent plastic surgeon in New York City, is noting an overwhelming degree of patient satisfaction following breast reconstruction surgery. The board certified plastic surgeon specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery at his Midtown Manhattan practice.
"Breast reconstruction is one of the most important advances in plastic surgery," explains Dr. Karp. "I can help restore a woman's body - and confidence - following a mastectomy procedure." The procedure works to restore a natural-looking appearance after breast removal from cancer and other diseases. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there were nearly 100,000 breast reconstruction procedures performed in 2011 alone. That represents a remarkable 22% increase since the year 2000.
"What's more, we are finding that an overwhelming majority of these patients are satisfied with their results," reports Dr. Karp. "Many are amazed with their newfound happiness and confidence."
This confirms data published by plastic surgery consumer review site, RealSelf®. The online community tracks patient satisfaction by asking users to rate a procedure as "Worth It" or not. And, according to the latest figures, nearly 9 out of 10 RealSelf users gave Breast Reconstruction a "Worth It" rating.
"It's important to also mention that breast construction is a relatively complex surgery," says Dr. Karp. "It's essential that patients are working with an experienced professional, such as a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast reconstruction." Since 1994, Dr. Karp has been board-certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Asked about the future of breast reconstruction, Dr. Karp concluded succinctly. "Our practice, KCNY Plastic Surgery, is excited for the future of breast reconstruction, and we will continue to help our female patients achieve the beauty and confidence they desire.
