Good Samaritan Medical Center is offering a groundbreaking surgical option for breast cancer patients through the Nipple Sparing Goldilocks Mastectomy (NSGM). This advanced procedure is providing a safer, simpler alternative to traditional breast reconstruction, especially for women with higher body mass index (BMI) or those who wish to avoid implants.
Leading this transformative technique is Dr. June Lee, a breast surgeon who has successfully performed more than 400 Goldilocks mastectomies. Her expertise has drawn patients from across South Florida and the Treasure Coast seeking this innovative care.
NSGM is a single-stage procedure that removes cancerous tissue while preserving the nipple-areola complex. Instead of using implants or undergoing complex reconstruction, the surgeon uses the patient’s own remaining tissue to create a natural-looking breast mound.
This method is particularly beneficial for women with larger or sagging breasts, medical conditions that increase surgical risk, or personal preferences against implants. It often results in a shorter recovery time, fewer complications, and satisfying cosmetic outcomes.
“Dr. June Lee’s expertise in the Nipple Sparing Goldilocks Mastectomy has transformed the way we approach breast cancer treatment and reconstruction,” said Sheri Montgomery, CEO of Good Samaritan Medical Center. “This technique not only offers a safe and effective option for patients with higher BMIs but also aligns with the growing trend of women seeking alternatives to implants. We are proud to provide this innovative care to our community.”
