Reconstruction after skin cancer, breast reconstruction, treatment of scars and sequelae, microsurgery and medical tattooing of the areola and scars. The restorative side of plastic surgery, done with the same aesthetic attention.
Dr. Yolotzin completed a fellowship in microsurgery in Rio de Janeiro, which makes it possible to reconstruct with flaps and fine techniques when a defect is large or sits in a delicate area such as the face.
Each case is assessed individually and, when applicable, in coordination with your oncologist or dermatologist. The goal is to restore form and function, and for the reconstruction to go as unnoticed as possible.
Is it for me?
Patients with defects after the removal of a skin cancer.
Women who want breast reconstruction after a mastectomy.

What you should know
How it's done, how to care for it and what to expect.
General information so you arrive at your consultation with the right questions. Your plan is defined at your consultation.
Technique
Reconstruction of defects after skin cancer with local flaps or grafts, in coordination with the dermatologist or oncologist.
Breast reconstruction with an implant, a flap or your own fat, immediate or delayed.
Microsurgery to transfer tissue with its own blood supply when the defect is large.
Medical tattooing of the areola and scar camouflage as the final step.
Aftercare
Close monitoring of the flap or graft during the first days.
Scheduled dressing changes and protection of the area.
Rehabilitation and scar care according to each case.
Results and how long they last
Depends on the procedure; the goal is to restore form and function with the fewest visible sequelae. Many cases require more than one operation, planned from the start.
Risks and how we reduce them
Partial or total loss of the flap, infection and the need for additional procedures. Careful planning and daily follow-up reduce these risks.
