Patient Testimonials
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“After my mastectomy and initial reconstruction, I wasn’t sure what to expect from nipple reconstruction or whether it was the right step for me. From my first consultation, the team at Town Plastic Surgery made me feel informed and supported, never rushed. Dr. Ratner explained the process clearly and helped me understand how nipple and areola reconstruction could complete my reconstruction. The experience was far less stressful than I anticipated, my recovery was straightforward, and my procedure was covered by insurance. I’m very thankful for the care and professionalism I received.”
