THE HUFFINGTON POST | Lauren Cahn - Living the Dream, 3 Reconstructive Surgeries Later Is there a woman alive who hasn't fantasized about taking some of "this stuff down here" and "moving it up there"?
Let me just say, I'm living the dream.
LOUISIANA'S HEALTH & FITNESS | Dr. Maria M. LoTempio - Omega Hospital The road to her work as a reconstructive surgeon has been a long and interesting one. Dr. LoTempio started her medical career as a neonatal/pediatric ICU nurse.
NEW ORLEANS LIVING | Think Pink. Breast Cancer Awareness Month To Patients who have undergone breast cancer therapy and had lymph node dissections or radiation to the lymph nodes area, Dr. Maria LoTempio is a healer. She is also a boon to New Orleans as she is one of the first plastic surgeons in the United States to travel to Paris to learn vascularized lymph node transfer (VLTN), a cutting edge procedure, under the guidance of Dr. Corrine Becker, a pioneer in VLNT.
SOPHISTICATED WOMAN | Recreating Lives After Breast Cancer From an early age, Dr. LoTempio knew she wanted to be a surgeon. In this article, you see what drove her and colleague Dr. Chen into medicine and onto a team of distinguished plastic surgeons who “recreate lives after breast cancer.”
LOUISIANA’S HEALTH & FITNESS | Omega Hospital Caring for women in need and helping them feel whole again is a passion for Dr. LoTempio and her colleagues at Omega Hospital. In this article, Dr. LoTempio’s colleague Dr Chen takes you on a tour of this small boutique hospital where its team provides the most advanced and patient-friendly reconstructive surgeries in a warm, loving environment. You'll also learn about the unique chemistry between the doctors that gives the team the feel of a major symphony where everyone tunes into each other to achieve a beautiful result.
