Good Samaritan Medical Center proudly presents the Nipple-Sparing Goldilocks Mastectomy (NSGM), an advanced and innovative breast cancer surgery. NSGM offers women a safe and effective alternative to traditional breast reconstruction techniques, especially beneficial for those with a higher body mass index (BMI) or those who prefer to avoid breast implants.
Dr. June Lee, a leading breast surgeon with extensive experience performing more than 400 Goldilocks Mastectomies, spearheads this revolutionary procedure. She attracts patients from across South Florida and the Treasure Coast who seek natural, less invasive breast cancer treatment options.
How NSGM Works
NSGM is a single-stage breast reconstruction procedure that preserves the nipple-areola complex (NAC) while carefully removing cancerous tissue. Unlike traditional reconstruction methods that often rely on implants or complex surgeries, NSGM uses the patient’s own breast tissue to reshape and elevate the breast naturally.
This approach is especially suited for women with larger or sagging breasts (a condition known as ptosis), those with other medical conditions, or patients who prefer to avoid implants altogether. If desired, implants can be added during or after the surgery, but they are not mandatory.
Benefits of the Nipple-Sparing Goldilocks Mastectomy
-
Ideal for Higher BMI Patients: Women with a higher BMI are at greater risk of complications from traditional breast reconstruction. NSGM significantly reduces these risks.
-
Implant-Free Option: Patients seeking a natural breast contour without foreign materials find NSGM a perfect solution.
-
Potential to Reduce Radiation Therapy: Early-stage breast cancer patients undergoing NSGM may require less radiation therapy.
-
Lower Complication Rates: Compared to traditional nipple-sparing mastectomy, NSGM boasts fewer complications and lower reoperation rates.
-
Minimally Invasive: The procedure reduces the need for multiple surgeries, offering a smoother recovery experience.
-
Improved Cosmetic Outcomes: Natural breast shape and nipple preservation help patients feel confident and comfortable in their bodies.
-
Minimal Postoperative Pain: Studies show an average pain score of just 0.8 out of 10, making recovery less painful than traditional methods.
