Though Ravi Tandon, MD, has completed training in all areas of plastic surgery, he specializes in helping restore the bodies of women who have undergone a mastectomy. Dr. Tandon uses the latest surgical techniques and methods to boost his patients' confidence with natural-looking results that last. He will also be able to support you as you embark on your life-changing surgical journey. No matter who completed your mastectomy, Ravi Tandon, MD, will work with them to ensure you receive the results you desire.

Why Choose a Microsurgeon?

Though patients will always experience some numbness in their breasts after a mastectomy or double mastectomy, a microsurgeon can help restore some of the sensation. Choosing a microsurgeon for your reconstruction can allow your results to look and feel as much as possible like your breasts did before mastectomy.

How Can Microsurgery
Improve My Results?

A mastectomy severs the nerves that provide feeling to the breast and nipple, leading to numbness or a loss of sensation. During a DIEP flap procedure in the hospital, microsurgery techniques involving allograft nerve tissue can connect the nerves in the chest with the nerves in the tissue from the donor site, improving sensation.

Choose Ravi Tandon, MD,

Microsurgery is one of Dr. Tandon's specialties. Our Metairie plastic surgeon serving Greater New Orleans completed a prestigious reconstructive microsurgery fellowship at NYU Medical Center and is affiliated with the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery.

Dr.Tandon is the best! After being diagnosed with early stage breast cancer Dr. Tandon put my mind to ease at our first meeting. He is compassionate, patient, funny and very talented. A year after my final surgery I can say I’m very pleased with my reconstruction and would recommend Dr. Tandon to anyone in the same situation.

I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer and consequently had a bilateral mastectomy. Dr. Tandon performed a DIEP flap and reconstruction. He is a gifted surgeon. I am very pleased with the result. More importantly, Dr. Tandon and his staff made me feel comfortable and safe. If you don't love your doctor, go see Dr. Tandon before embarking on surgery.

I met with Dr. Tandon 4 days post a chemo treatment to discuss breast reconstruction options. I was not looking my best... so I walked in feeling self conscious. Dr. Tandon was amazing. He took his time explaining everything and what he thought was best options for me. He made me feel confident and beautiful on a day I felt the worst. I cannot wait to see my results in a few months!
