This cutting-edge procedure harvests a woman’s own skin, fat & blood vessels (perforators) from her lower abdomen & transfers them to her chest to reconstruct the breasts thus making them look more natural while maintaining abdominal strength & offering faster recovery with less tissue damage. He also performs complex reconstructive procedures & tissue engineering. He uses microsurgery to treat post-mastectomy lymphedema by transferring lymph nodes to where they used to be & redirecting lymphatic fluid into the vein. Dr. Otake also works to reintroduce sensation into breasts that have been reconstructed after a mastectomy. These procedures “are transformative, especially after cancer." He was a Regan Fellow in Operation Smile (Norfolk, VA).
