Dr. Matatov performs hundreds of autologous breast reconstruction flaps every year and by looking at their numbers — this number keeps going up. What some do not realize is the difficulty level of performing DIEP flaps and other autologous tissue flaps. The rigorous training to essentially make a living breast out of another part of the body is far beyond standard plastic surgery. In a conversation with Dr. Matatov, “In my training for beautifying breast reconstruction, the attention to detail just gets magnified drastically. You are literally moving one part of the body to another part, then sewing blood vessels together(microsurgery). This skill has overflowed to the cosmetic patients, which is what has helped me achieve such beautiful results in cosmetic cases.” Throughout his professional career, he has also published numerous papers, and is a member of the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgeons and a board certified plastic surgeon with the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
