Breast Cancer Group Guest Speaker: Dr. David Passaretti

Dr. Passaretti, is a plastic surgeon who performs the full range of breast reconstruction procedures for women having a mastectomy. His office is in Darien and he works closely with breast surgeons and other doctors at Norwalk Hospital where he performs surgery.
He will be sharing important information on improvements in surgery and options for survivors who will learn something that will benefit them in a safe, comfortable setting.

He will address the issues, concerns and needs of women post mastectomy and post reconstruction. For example, what do we need to do to care for our reconstructed breast and do we have any options if we are unhappy with the results. Can anything be done about scar pain post surgery ? There will be time for a Q and A.

Jean Wescott, Dermal Pigmentologist, (specializing in areola tattooing ) who works closely with Dr. Passaretti in his office, will also be available for any questions. Nipple tattooing fades after two or three years and insurance will cover correcting the faded color.

Dr. Passaretti has been rated a Top Doc from 2011 to 2015 in CT Magazine and was voted one of the Top Doctors in Fairfield Magazine in New Canaan/Darien, Westport, Greenwich and Stamford Magazines.
