Why One Young Mother Choose A Double Mastectomy After DCIS Diagnosis 

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - July 1, 2019 - Breast Cancer Diagnosis, Breast Cancer Surgery

One of our beloved patients was recently featured in the Citizen Tribune about her experience with DCIS breast cancer. The information in this blog post was gathered from that article:

Whitney Danehy McGowen was 33 years old when she went for a regular checkup with her obstetrician in the late fall of 2017. She mentioned a slight change in her left breast and her obstetrician, while not overly concerned, suggested it was a good reason to get a baseline mammogram since she had a family history of breast cancer.

My Latest Certification Will Help Me Deliver The Best Possible Cosmetic Results

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - February 18, 2019 - Breast Cancer Surgery

I am proud to have earned a Certification in Oncoplastic Surgery Education from the School of Oncoplastic Surgery. This is significant for my patients because oncoplastic surgery is considered the most advanced form of breast cancer surgery. It combines surgery to remove the breast cancer with plastic and reconstructive techniques to reshape the breasts for the best possible cosmetic results.

What You Need To Know About Breast Implants And Lymphoma

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - November 30, 2018 - Breast Cancer Surgery

Women choose to get breast implants either for breast reconstruction after mastectomy or for cosmetic reasons. Recently, there’s been a good deal of news coverage about a connection between breast implants and cancer. This relates to a report that the FDA has released regarding women with breast implants developing a type of cancer called breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL.

Respecting A Woman’s Choice To “Go Flat”

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - November 19, 2018 - Breast Cancer Surgery
0

One skill that separates me from other surgeons is my ability to leave women flat-chested after a mastectomy if they so desire. For years, medical professionals as well as breast cancer patients adhered to the idea that breast reconstruction is an integral part of breast cancer treatment. However, many patients today are choosing to forego reconstruction and remain breastless after breast cancer surgery.

My journey as a Breast Surgical Oncologist began in California where I first practiced general surgery in a suburb of San Francisco. General surgery is rewarding, but what I found most fulfilling was counseling and treating patients with breast cancer.

Why And When You Should (or Should Not) Get A Second Opinion On Breast Cancer Surgery

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - July 31, 2018 - Breast Cancer Diagnosis, Breast Cancer Surgery

The New York Times recently published an article written by a breast cancer survivor who was advocating that women who’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer seek second opinions about their treatment options. The author, Elizabeth Bennett, began her breast cancer journey when an acute pain in her breast sent her to the emergency room.
