Dr. Dorante discusses how restoring nerves during reconstructive breast surgery. 💗
Mastectomy divides the nerves in the chest, often times leading to a decrease in sensation. Reconstruction restores form, but on its own it does not restore feeling. Resensation®, offered at FPS in partnership with Axogen, uses Avance®, an FDA-approved nerve graft, to repair those nerves during breast reconstruction or revision surgery.
Timing matters here. Because the nerve repair happens during surgery, it cannot be added to a reconstruction that has already healed. If reconstruction is still ahead of you, this is the time to ask.
Dr. Miguel Dorante brings this subspecialty to Forsyth Plastic Surgery, seeing patients in Winston-Salem and Kernersville. Candidacy is determined at consultation.
