EDUCATION & ACCREDIATIONS
Dr. Cusimano’s training was done at Tulane University in New Orleans which provided him with a unique opportunity to learn the most advanced techniques in breast reconstruction, as that is where autologous tissue reconstruction for the breast was popularized. He not only had a vast experience in autologous reconstruction but also had vast exposure to the newer techniques for implant-based reconstruction including pre-pectoral and direct-to-implant reconstructions. Dr. Cusimano feels extremely lucky to bring this knowledge and skill back to where he grew up and be able to give breast cancer patients other options for breast reconstruction.
