Dr. Thomas A. Pane, MD

Approach

• And by going over that, we try to match the expectations and see what we can offer to address the concerns
• It adds cost and adds some risk of problems, so I don't use it routinely
• Overrated in most cases can work for select people who know what they want and they have the right kind of anatomy, but I wouldn't jump into it too quick

Specialization

• And it's an area a lot of people turn down and I think it's good to get it done if you can get it done safely
• I'm able to handle almost all the adjustments that need to be made, whether it's a first-time breast procedure, a revision, secondary, or something's really gone a little haywire
• Dr. Thomas A. Pane, MD, considers fat transfer to breasts one of his signature procedures.

Consultation

• If you're interested in taking advantage of these warranty programs we will do the interaction with the company for you and the packaging and everything else
• But we would we would talk about it and go from there. Every now and then somebody feels real strongly and wants to have it placed, we can do that. But we'll go over the pros and cons, you know, during the consultation
• Early in a consultation, I'm looking for overall past medical history, the history of what you're interested in doing, is this a first time procedure or is this a secondary procedure?

Recovery guidance

• And they're not equally likely for all surgeries, but for the bigger surgeries, we want to make sure you're up and moving around right soon after surgery
• Neglecting good scar care. Many of the procedures need good scar care afterward, and some of them for more than three months. If you slack off on the scar care too early, you could end up with thicker scars that would otherwise have been prevented

Safety

• Dr. Thomas A. Pane, MD, will not operate on patients with uncontrolled blood pressure, emphasizing that it must be controlled, especially for new diagnoses or very high known diagnoses, though borderline cases on the day of surgery might be manageable.
