Julie V. Vasile, MD

Dr. Julie Vasile's practice is specialized only to women who need breast reconstruction. Her patients are women who want to restore their breasts using their own fat and who do not want implants in their body. Dr. Vasile only uses the microsurgical perforator flap technique to avoid removing muscle since 2008. In addition to using the abdominal fat, Dr. Vasile is an expert in using this technique to harvest fat from uncommonly used areas, such as the thighs, upper back, and buttock. She specializes in adding extra blood vessels and combining multiple areas to obtain more fat in thin women.

Dr. Vasile's research in using fat for breast reconstruction from non-abdominal areas of the body, using additional blood vessels in abdominal areas, delaying blood vessels, using MRA to improve surgical planning and outcomes, and combining areas of the body in thin patients has been published in peer reviewed journals. She only does natural breast reconstruction and revision breast surgery, typically in women with breast cancer or at high risk for breast cancer.
