Dr. Karp was listed in the New York Magazine Best Doctor’s list published June 14, 2010.  To see the article go to: http://nymag.com/bestdoctors/

Drs 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 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 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.

Dr. Karp was recently interviewed in a discussion about breast reduction.  To view the video of the interview please go to:

Dr Karp was featured in an article in Cosmetic Surgery Times about his use of 3D imaging in the management of patients having breast reconstruction, reduction and augmentation.  For the full content please click on the link below.
