Drs Karp and Choi present at Plastic Surgery Research Council
June 8th, 2010Drs Karp and Choi and their research team presented 3 papers at the Plastic Surgery Research Council in San Francisco May 25 & 26 2010. The papers all involved 3D imaging and studied fat grafting to the breast, long-term breast reduction surgery, and comparing short scar and traditional scar breast reduction surgery. The papers were well received and continue to demonstrate Drs Karp and Choi’s leadership role in 3D imaging of the breast.

Drs Karp and Choi add fat injection to the breast to their practice
February 1st, 2010Drs. Karp and Choi are doing fat injection to the breast for breast augmentation and for revision of breast reconstruction. This exciting new technology is available to patients who have had breast implant reconstruction as well as flap reconstruction. The fat injection can improve most breast reconstructions. For the breast augmentations, fat injections can be done initially or to replace implants that are already in place.
Dr. Choi presenting our research on fat injection to the breast in Seattle
October 21st, 2009Dr. Choi will be presenting the work performed by herself and Dr. Karp involving the use of 3D scanning to follow the progress of fat injection to the breast for breast reconstruction purposes. The patients treated with fat injection include implant reconstructions, flap reconstructions, and deformities after lumpectomy. The data shows that the fat stabilizes after about 2 months and about 50% of the fat survives long term. This is the first study to objectively document the survival of fat grafting to the breast. The paper was accepted for presentation at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons Meeting in Seattle, Washington on October 24, 2009.

New Technology improves operating times and results in DIEP flaps
September 19th, 2009Drs Karp and Choi have been using preoperative CT scan angiograms to deliniate the anatomy of the deep inferior epigastric artery and its perforators prior to DIEP flap surgery. This technique allows the doctors to know the anatomy of the small vessels called perforators that nourish the DIEP flap prior to surgery. This knowledge results in a safer and shorter operation. Drs karp and Choi estimate that incorporating this technology into their practice has shortened the operative time by 90 to 120 minutes. A shorter operation means less anesthesia and a quicker recovery for their patients.
Breast Sculptor Now available!!!
August 11th, 2009| Sculptor is a tremendous tool for developing a common understanding with my patients prior to surgery. This results in a more satisfied patient and ultimately additional referrals.” | |
| Drs. Nolan Karp and Mihye Choi have been using Breast Sculptor since May, 2008. From the beginning he has seen the benefits of using Breast Sculptor with his patients in developing a mutual understanding of the expected outcome of breast augmentation surgery. He claims that “it is the only tool available that can show patients what they will look like with accuracy.” Citing additional benefits, Dr. Karp adds, “Sculptor is clearly a differentiator for my practice.”For over 10 years Dr. Karp has been using 3D imaging, making him one of the industry’s most experienced surgeons in the use of this leading-edge technology. Today he also takes advantage of the highly accurate Vectra 3D camera system and the measurement and analysis tools in Canfield’s Mirror 3D software to aid in resident training and as a tool in research projects.
Dr. Karp has been a member of the faculty at the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at the NYU School of Medicine since 1992. For the past ten years Dr. Karp has been the course director for the annual Emerging Technologies in Plastic Surgery meeting. A graduate of Northwestern University School of Medicine, Dr. Karp completed his general and plastic surgery training at NYU.
