Best of Delaware, very appreciative for his knowledge, patience, and talent

It really doesn’t get much better than Dr. Benjamin Cooper. My case has been complicated and he agreed to take me on as a patient after 2 difficult rounds (and many surgeries) of attempted breast reconstruction AND after being told by another surgeon no one in Delaware would help me. Glad I didn’t give up andntake that advice any many surgeries it just wasn’t happening. What makes him Delaware’s best plastic surgeon is that he always has a plan. He seems two steps ahead. My left side made it clear it just wasn’t going to cooperate so together we agreed to focus on the right side and remove the expander from the left side and leave it be for as long as it needed to heal. Yes, very devastating but he made it clear it wasn’t hopeless. I’ve always taken pride in my figure and explained to him how I wanted to look given I am a bit bottom heavier and he has done a fantastic job at keeping me loving my body even though I’m down a breast. He is an example for others surgeons for sure.
There was a point where I thought it was going to be a total wash. He has operated
on me 7 times since May as I just mentioned we had some complications that weren’t anyone’s fault but what sets him aside is that during one post op visit in November he took one look at me and sent me for cultures and he was spot on that i had a systemic infection. I was admitted the next day into the hospital for a week. I had little to no symptoms other than fatigue but having so many surgeries, fatigue comes with the territory. He was on it. It could have been worse had he not followed me so closely.
I am able access to the portal and reading his note from that day shows how much he pays attention to everything.
If you are in Delaware or close by do not pass over a consult with Dr. Cooper. His attention to detail is like no other and the fact that he seems to care on a serious level (but has a funny sense of humor) and stating the facts without freaking you out is priceless. He welcomes questions and spends whatever amount of time needed with you.
His staff is probably the nicest I’ve ever dealt with and given my issues I’ve dealt with many. I don’t think 5 stars is adequate. I’d give much more if I could. I know we will be successful and we are already halfway there.

I refuse to let the fact that I have only one breast ruin my summer and my beach/vacation time. I don’t want to rush into fixing my left side as I’m exhausted from surgery and I don’t think he does either, so I’ve found a bathing suit that won’t make me look odd given I only have one breast. Not sure if mentioned earlier
In review, Dr Cooper took fat from my stomach and put in my chest to round out the right breast and cushion the left breast and while I’m not quite summer ready, I will be very soon.

Saw Dr. Cooper today for a 4 week post op follow up. All is well thank goodness this the longest I’ve made it with a prosthetic since it all fell apart(round 1) Today he took a quick peak and is pleased as I am with breast and my PERFECT stomach. I can’t say enough about how amazing it looks. Painful but worth it because he added it to my empty left breast area which felt like skin in bones prior to the fat going in. I’m down 8lbs since surgery but that’s probably because I haven’t been eating well. I was so many continuous antibiotics that I got oral thrush. This is the 3rd time having it in a year. Antibiotics wipe out the bad and the good. Keeping it real when I say my mouth is seriously hurting. Saw my primary who called in nystatin to be taken along with the diflucan I’ve already been taking. Other than that small setback we are officially in a holding pattern until the left side is ready. I will need serious prayers for that. ????????????????????????
