Dr. Tutela changed my life as a breast cancer survivor! I had extremely aggressive breast cancer and needed a mastectomy on one breast and a lumpectomy on the other which I got done at Memorial Sloan Kettering. After surgery and treatment MSK performed breast reconstruction and I was left extremely disappointed. My body didn't even look like my own and the MSK plastic surgeon had given me a breast reduction when I did not ask for one. I had asked different plastic surgeons if they would take me as a patient to correct my reconstruction and none of them were up to the challenge of making my breasts the correct size or symmetrical again. After speaking with Dr. Tutela, he said he would be more than happy to help me and even though it would be a difficult surgery he knew he could do it. Now one year later I am happier than ever with my body after enduring such a horrific life change. Dr Tutela brought my confidence back and even helped me with the scar maintenance after the surgery so that my body looks more like it always had before the cancer disrupted my life. I would refer anyone and everyone to him. He is kind and patient and extremely capable and knowledgeable and everything that he does!
