"After being diagnosed with nuclear-grade multifocal ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), I elected to undergo a nipple-sparing bilateral mastectomy with implant reconstruction and nerve grafting. This newer procedure offers the possibility of restoring sensation to reconstructed breasts.
Nerve grafting is a state-of-the-art, technically demanding procedure that not all surgeons perform. If you are facing breast surgery, ask about nerve grafting and consider choosing a surgeon experienced in the technique, such as Dr. Meredith Collins at Ochsner. Having reconstructed breasts that can feel touch is an incredible gift.”
- Linda P., Breast reconstruction surgery patient
“My entire life has changed since my procedure with Dr. Hauch. Not only do I look amazing, but I feel incredible inside and out. My confidence has been completely restored. I truly feel like I’ve been given a second chance at looking and feeling my best. Now, for the first time in years, I can confidently smile when I look in the mirror, and that feeling is absolutely priceless.”
- Chelsea R., Lipo360 and tummy tuck patient
"From the beginning, Dr. Christopher Smith made me feel at ease with the reconstruction journey I faced after a mastectomy. He listened to my concerns, valued my input and guided me toward the best option to feel whole again. His calm nature made it easy to place my trust in him, and I am grateful for his experience and professionalism. I will always recommend Dr. Smith to women facing their own journey with breast cancer."
