Dr. Maria M. LoTempio Receives Award From the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery
NEW YORK, March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM) awarded Dr. Maria M. LoTempio for her outstanding paper on the profunda artery perforator flap (PAP) for breast reconstruction. Dr. LoTempio was the only female surgeon to receive this honor in the January 2012 annual meeting.
Dr. LoTempio is a double board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in microsurgical breast reconstruction. She is highly regarded for her innovative techniques that offer an alternative to a traditional implant. Dr. LoTempio has changed the lives of many women in need of reconstruction by creating a more perfect breast, using natural augmentation methods.
"I am honored to have received the award for outstanding paper by ASRM," explains Dr. LoTempio. "I have dedicated my medical career to helping women and am trained to treat unusual and difficult cases. I am constantly researching methods and techniques that produce the most effective and satisfying results for the patient. The PAP flap is an option for autologous breast reconstruction when the abdomen is not available or the patient wishes to use her fat and skin from the posterior thigh."
Just this year, Dr. LoTempio opened LoTempio Plastic Surgery for Women, her New York City based practice, located at 630 Third Avenue in Manhattan. LoTempio Plastic Surgery for Women offers patients a full range of cosmetic and reconstructive options including; lymph node procedures; breast reconstruction and microsurgery; augmentation, reduction and lifts; liposuction, abdominoplasty, face, brow and neck lifts, facial injectables, blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty.
Prior to setting up roots in New York City, Dr. LoTempio treated patients around the world, focusing on complex cases, such as cancer patients who suffered from a single or double mastectomy and patients who suffered from lymphedema.
