New Jersey Breast Reconstruction Specialist – Dr. Zubowski
Serving Bergen County & Paramus

Breast Reconstruction in Bergen County , New Jersey

Every two minutes, a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer. Many women undergo a mastectomy (surgical removal of all or part of the breast) as a form of treatment for this deadly disease while many more women are starting to opt for a preventative mastectomy. Understandably, women may be hesitant to undergo this procedure because of the drastic changes it brings in physical appearance.

Breast reconstruction surgery is a procedure designed to restore the shape and appearance of breasts that have been deformed or lost due to mastectomy, trauma, or birth defects. For patients seeking breast reconstruction, Dr. Robert Zubowski and his team offer many options for treatment, including the innovative new TRAM flap breast reconstruction surgery. In fact, you may have recently seen Dr. Zubowski as a guest of Barbara Walters on the popular talk show, The View, where he discussed the benefits of TRAM flap breast reconstruction.

Because Dr. Zubowski understands the emotional difficulty women face upon losing one or both breasts, he is especially proud to offer the most innovative breast reconstruction techniques available. During the TRAM flap method of breast reconstruction, Dr. Zubowski creates a flap in the woman’s lower abdomen and removes excess fat and skin, which he then uses to create a new breast mound. The patient may return to Dr. Zubowski’s office at a later date for nipple and areola reconstruction. Patients who undergo TRAM flap breast reconstruction usually require a stay in the hospital during the first few days following their breast reconstruction surgery. Most patients experience a full recovery within six weeks of their procedure.

Since Dr. Zubowski uses a patient’s own tissue for the TRAM flap technique, women who undergo breast reconstruction at our office find that their breasts feel and look more natural than if they had chosen breast implants. For many patients, Dr. Zubowski is also able to create an improved abdominal contour during the procedure.
