My name is Brigid Killellea. I’m a breast surgeon from the United States, and I work at Yale University.
Book an appointmentI am an associate professor of surgery and I’m the chief of the breast service at Yale in New Haven. So I came to work and study at the Paris Breast Center and clinic Bizet for a period of three months. a period of three months. In the United States, our training is a little bit different and we don’t have as In the United States, our training is a little bit different and we don’t have as In the United States, our training is a little bit different and we don’t have as And I wanted to spend some time in Paris getting to know him and working with him and getting some firsthand experience in oncoplastics. Ideally, the reason I wanted to come is to benefit my patients to give them better cosmetic outcomes after their lumpectomies and to be able to do more breast conserving surgery. I think the two most useful techniques that I learned here was something called an advancement flap, where I learned how to undermine the skin and free the breast breast after lumpectomy. So there’s no deformity. And the other technique that I learned about was something called a rotational glandular flap, where we recruit a little bit of breast tissue from a different place after a flap, where we recruit a little bit of breast tissue from a different place after a There is interest in learning these techniques in the United States, and there certainly are breast surgeons that are doing them and teaching them.

But for me, three months was really a good amount of time. I think if I had stayed only for a couple of weeks, I would have seen each procedure once or maybe twice. And for me, seeing them over and over a couple of times really helped solidify the concepts in my mind and give me enough confidence that I think I can take these ideas and these concepts home with me and really feel good about using them on my own patients.
