Breast Reconstruction Revision

Excellent Surgeon and Professional Experience.

Dr. Michael Glafkides performed my expander implants and subsequent reconstruction surgeries after a mastectomy. I could not of been more pleased with the results and his level of professionalism, responsiveness, and care. In 2019, many implant patients were sent letters due to a worldwide withdrawal of specific types of textured breast implants. The FDA notification of Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma incidences occurring in these types of implants were the implants I had chosen and it caused me to have concerns. BIA-ALCL is a serious condition that can cause serious health implications if not diagnosed early and treated properly. After consultations with Dr. Glafkides we moved forward in 2020 with a capsulectomy and replacement of these implants. Research has shown that various doctors approach this surgery in different ways, but Dr. Glafkides was successful with a minimal invasion procedure to remove some scar tissue and replace my implants. I cannot say enough about the knowledge and skill level that has been proven in my multiple surgeries with Dr. Michael Glafkides. He is the expert in his field of recsontruction surgery.

Beyond Amazing!

There are not enough words to describe how AMAZING Dr. Glafkides and his team are. Before meeting him, I had consulted with another plastic surgeon who made me feel uncomfortable and unsure about moving forward with my large breast reduction. I gave it a second chance and consulted with Dr. Glafkides who made ALL of my fears and worries go away by taking time to show and explain the process. He and his staff made me feel so welcomed and after my consult I felt so comfortable with my decision to move forward with surgery. He even personally called to speak with my husband who had questions and concerns about the process. I am 2 weeks post surgery and so incredibly pleased with the results and the care and support he has given me post-op. Thank you Dr. Glafkides for your kindness, care, support and making me feel so beautiful!

Dr. Glafkides did an amazing job - looks so very natural

Dr. Glafkides did an amazing job that looks so very natural and will last a very long time. The results are all I hoped for and more. He was excellent with follow up appts to make sure everything was went smoothly during an easy recovery and I was back out doing my daily activities within two weeks. I would trust him in the future for any procedure he specialized in again.

My New and Improved Tatas!

I am beyond thankful to have found Dr. Glafkides. He performed my most recent reconstructive breast surgery after undergoing a double mastectomy and three prior reconstructive surgeries due to breast cancer. There are many plastic & reconstructive surgeons to select from, however not many listen to the patients wants, needs and desires. Dr. Glafkides has THE best artistic eye for his craft, he exudes kindness and I stand with Dr. Glafkides to take care of ME inside and out.

Highly recommended —Dr. Glafkides did such a wonderful job!

Dr. Glafkides did my breasts reconstruction after a bi-lateral mastectomy and radiation. He did such a wonderful job, that I like my breasts better than before the whole ordeal. Not only is he most professional in his job, but also the kindest person. I've seen another plastic surgeon before, which all about perfection and doing whatever HE thought was good for me, not listening to what I wanted and needed, even telling me that I will change my mind and asking if I'm willing to gain weight. Dr. Glafkides first listened to me and my needs, and then proceeded in explaining thoroughly how he can do exactly that, and what that means. He did a great job, exactly what I needed, not only in outcome, but also in the process that it took, all of this with lots of compassion and care. His office personal are also the most helpful, curtious and accomodating. I am happy to provide further info by need, in private, you can contact me thru the office.

Excellent Surgeon

Dr Glafkides is an excellent physician! I had a laceration along my collarbone that I feared would leave a lifelong scar. Dr Glafkides did a wonderful job treating my wound and I'm amazed by the results (no scar!). Both Dr. Glafkides and his staff are kind, caring and completely professional. I highly recommend him and his office.

An Amazing Surgeon!

Dr. Glafkides recently performed reconstructive surgery on my nose to repair the wound left by MOHS surgery for skin cancer. He and his staff were highly recommended by my dermatological surgeon, and I couldn’t be happier with the results of the surgery. I’m amazed by how well the area has healed in the four months since my surgery. Even my dermatologist commented on how great my nose looks during my biannual skin check yesterday. Thank you, Dr. Glafkides! You and your staff made a stressful situation so much easier to cope with.

5 Star Experience

I have been a patient of Dr Glafkides for many years and recently contiplated volbella lip filler. I had many conversations wth the doctor expressing my hesitation and concerns, and he was very patient and listened to me explaining exactly what to expect and that he would be very conservative. At no point did I ever feel pressured and I greatly appreciate that about him. When I finally decided to do the Volbella I was genuinely pleased with the result and with his precision. I fully trust Dr Glafkides, have no hesitation in recommending him for this, and other procedures. The office staff are efficient and very welcoming, making for a pleasant experience all around.
