I am a health conscious woman who as a result of cancer had a bilateral mastectomy and breast reconstruction by another plastic surgeon. The original plastic surgery results were very disturbing and unacceptable as my reconstructed breasts no longer resembled breasts. After living with a horrible body image for five years, I met with Dr Stephen Coccaro. He took the time to listen to me and my concerns and was very optimistic that he could help restore my symmetry and more natural body lines. I cannot believe the improvement that he was able to achieve. After five years of feeling physically unfeminine, his surgical achievement has restored my positive body image. Thank you Dr Coccaro!
