Valerie Lemaine, MD

Due to a significant, multi-generational family history of breast cancer, I was a 55 year old candidate for prophylactic bilateral mastectomy and breast reconstruction in early 2015. I interviewed three highly-recommended plastic surgeons--Dr. Lemaine was the only one of the three who offered me a nipple-sparing pre-pectoral reconstruction, a newer option at that time. (The other two said I was not a candidate for either.) I am so pleased with my results! Both esthetically speaking and practically; because of the pre-pectoral implant placement I do not have to curtail my exercise or deal with animation deformity. This was big surgery, with a long recovery period. And I am grateful each and every day since that I was able to reduce my risk of breast cancer with such a great surgical and esthetic outcome. In 2019, I used Dr. Lemaine for an elective implant revision which turned out beautifully. I appreciate that she sees her patients as deserving of the very best surgical techniques available.

Dr. Lemaine provided exceptional care and explained all the steps in the procedure so I always felt comfortable and new what was going on. After surgery, she checked in on me multiple times and did everything possible to make sure my recovery went smoothly. She is great!

Great experience. Dr. Lemaine is professional and reassuring. She listened to my concerns and helped me to feel at ease for the entire appointment. And my skin is looking great! She wants her client's to reach their aesthetic goals and I can tell she takes pride in what she does.
