Reveal a Younger, Healthier You
At Bronx Plastic Surgery, excellence in performing cosmetic and reconstructive procedures is achieved through both education and experience. Dr. Robert Goldstein and Dr. Heather Erhard bring more than two decades of extensive and specialized knowledge to their practice as board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Dr. Goldstein is an award-winning physician who specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, nose, breast and abdomen; while Dr. Erhard specializes in post mastectomy breast reconstruction.
Bronx Plastic Surgery specializes in a cutting edge breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy that allows women to maintain sensation in their breasts. Very few physicians in the country — let alone the tri-state area — have mastered this procedure like Dr. Erhard, who completed fellowship training in perforator flap reconstruction and has performed hundreds of these procedures. The result is a breast that looks and feels natural and moves with you. We also work with a great team of breast surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation therapists to coordinate the patient’s total care.
There are options for women who choose breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy that will leave them feeling as attractive as before and without losing sensation in their breasts. This innovative surgery is called perforator flap breast reconstruction, and the doctors at Bronx Plastic Surgery, Dr. Robert Goldstein and Dr. Heather Erhard, specialize in it.
Perforator flap breast reconstruction represents the state of the art in breast reconstruction. The procedure uses living tissue and adds the option of providing sensation to the reconstructed breast. The result: a breast that looks and feels natural and moves with you.
“We are bringing breast reconstruction to a higher level by restoring the natural feel that is lost to mastectomy. Women can now expect more out of reconstructive surgery than ever before,” says Dr. Goldstein.
Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is covered by insurance. In fact, federal and state laws mandate that women may choose any plastic surgeon they wish.
With the highly-technical perforator f lap breast reconstruction, the surgeons of Bronx Plastic Surgery take tissue from the abdomen through an incision along the bikini line. This tissue, called the “flap,” is then transferred to the mastectomy site to reconstruct the breast.
Dr. Heather Erhard has a great deal of experience with the procedure. The surgical team has performed hundreds of these procedures with a very high success rate and low complication rate.
Dr. Erhard said, “Our approach in all aspects of our surgical procedures — from breast reconstruction to cosmetic surgery — is to reshape the body in a way that gives a natural, comfortable feel.”
Experienced physicians, natural results
With summer fast approaching, now is the time to consider scheduling a consultation for body contouring or breast augmentation to ensure you look and feel your best come bathing-suit season.
