Breast Reconstruction with DIEP Flap

Kathy P.

So grateful!

Dr. Howard is a gifted surgeon and a compassionate doctor. I am so grateful that I chose to have the diep flap breast reconstruction surgery in lieu of getting a breast implant following my mastectomy. It feels so natural - I feel like myself again!

Breast Reconstruction - So Happy with Results!

I had a bi-lateral mastectomy (nipple sparing) and tissue expanders put in at the same time. After completing my breast cancer treatment, Dr Howard swapped out the expanders for implants. Having the expanders in during radiation not only helped minimize radiation side effects but also made me feel more normal during this stage of treatment. Overall, I wanted to look as much the same as I did before surgery...and I'm extremely happy with the results.

I had an exceptional experience

Dr. Howard and his staff provided me with exceptional medical/surgical care from my initial consultation with him regarding my reconstruction options following my double mastectomy to my most recent post-surgical follow-up appointment. I felt prepared going into my surgery, my recovery has gone as I expected based on what Dr. Howard had told me and I am pleased with the results. I would recommend him to anyone needing breast reconstruction following bi-lateral mastectomy.

Worth ItMohs Surgery

Plastic Surgery - Scalp Replacement

Over the past several years, I have had numerous occurrences of skin cancer (basal and squamous cells) to my scalp and facial area. In most cases, these cancer cells were successfully treated by my Dermatologist, via Mohs surgery. Most recently, however, a diagnosis of Atypical Fiberoxanthoma to my scalp, which was initially treated via Mohs surgery and followed by a six-week regimen of radiation, unfortunately required more extensive surgery. My surgical team consisted of a trio of specialists: a Surgical Oncologist, a Neurological Surgeon and a Plastic Surgeon. Surgery went well, with each Surgeon lending their expertise. Following a period of recuperation and extensive discussion with my Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Michael A. Howard, I decided to proceed with scalp reconstruction. In preparation, Dr. Howard thoroughly explained the procedure to me and my family; responding to each of our questions, guiding us both before and after surgery and through each follow-up visit. I am pleased to report a most successful outcome, from scalp reconstruction surgery. For anyone needing the expertise of a Plastic Surgeon, I highly recommend the extremely talented and most personable Michael A. Howard, Plastic Surgeon.

I had an extremely positive experience with Dr. Howard

Dr. Howard performed surgery on me in July, and my experience was very positive. It took a long time to confront an issue present for years. Dr. Howard has been extremely professional, empathetic and caring through the whole process. He made me feel that the decision to have surgery was the right one for me. At every appointment, Dr. Howard took the time to listen to me, answer all questions and provide encouragement. The surgery has had unbelievable positive effects on my life. Dr. Howard's surgical skills are excellent. His nurse and office staff have been great to work with. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Howard.

Breast Reconstruction with Latissimus Flap

Dr.Howard and his staff are perfection!

Dr.Howard and his staff are top notch. They put the patient first in every experience and I never feel rushed. Dr.howards compassion for his patients is unlike any I have ever experienced elsewhere. The reconstruction work I had done was done with precision and thought every step of the way. I recommend dr.howard and his staff to everyone I meet. The staff at check-in and the nurses are always smiling, happy and helpful! They show so much care for their patients from start to finish.

Dr. Howard is the best!

My experience with Dr. Howard has been excellent. I had a double mastectomy and he performed the reconstruction. His surgical skills are excellent (my incisions are perfect!) and his demeanor is friendly.

Worth It$9,000Tummy Tuck

Back to my Pre-pregnancy Self. Northbrook, IL

I am thrilled with the outcome of my procedure. After having two fairly large babies, my abdominal wall was separated and did not respond to physical therapy. The tummy tuck greatly improved my appearance, and I feel stronger in my core as well. The recovery from this procedure is difficult, particularly the first week following surgery, but the payoff is well worth it.

Office Review: Receptionist with bad vibes

Dr. Howard myself seemed nice and professional...his receptionist on the other hand. You would have thought I stole something from this lady. BEYOND rude. His other reviews on different sites mention her too. I booked with another Doctor. Can’t have that negativity around.
