Expertise in Breast Cancer Surgery

Dr. Thornton is the liaison in plastic surgery with the Norton Healthcare Breast Health Program, which is accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. He takes part in weekly multidisciplinary team meetings to review the needs of breast cancer patients undergoing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, and through survivorship. This method of collaboration is designed to provide the best care and outcomes to patients based on their individual cancer diagnosis. This includes nipple-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction, one-stage or direct-to-implant reconstruction, or oncoplastic reconstruction.

The choice to have breast reconstruction or reduction is a deeply personal one, tied to your self-esteem and body image. It may come after a time of illness such as cancer. We strive to meet your needs and give you your desired outcome. Whatever your reason for these procedures, we will support you every step of the way.
