After I finished my medical studies, I wanted to do plastic surgery and I was very certain of this.

One year ago, I started writing a lot of emails to this hospital and finally someone answered and they gave me a chance. But we could not manage at that time because I had to do all my studies, my universities, my exams.

So after a year, I finally came. Paris was my first choice because I wanted to be in the capital of France. We Romanian, we know how important and how good French education is. This was my first choice and after I searched for the best center when I can learn about breasts, I found the Paris Breast Center.

I also decided then that I want to do my final paper on breast surgery and after I sent one year ago a few emails, they answered me and we communicated throughout the whole year. And I managed finally to come. I’m very happy with what I saw.

I’ve learned a lot and mostly I’m very grateful for every little thing that I see because I know this is this is the way you, you see a technique. You see how the surgeon is having their hand and you see how they are putting the needle and you see how they are putting all the passion, all the hours, all the effort.

And that is how I know that I want to do plastic surgery. I really want to come back, actually. This is also one of my biggest desire to come here and to learn something more.

I have just recently finished my fellowship and so now I will be starting work formally when I return to the United States.

I came here to the Paris Breast Center to work directly with Krishna Clough, who is very well known in the field of oncoplastic breast surgery because I wanted to improve my skills in that.

I’ve been here at the Paris Breast Center for the past one month. I came here because I wanted to gain a broader exposure to oncoplastic breast reconstruction.

I’ve been very happy with my experience here. I’ve gained a lot of new knowledge. I’ve been able to see procedures that I’ve never heard of before or seen before in the United States.

One of the most important procedures I saw and will be able to take back with me to the United States was the in-breast glandular rotation flap where you are able to resect the breast resect the breast tissue, the breast cancer and then immediately fill that defect with the patient’s own breast tissue.

When I return, I will be able to perform my own glandular rotational flaps in the breast after resection.

I continue to see the Paris Breast Centre as a place that was advancing the field and setting the trend. And I think that really spoke to me as a great opportunity to learn some of these techniques and take them back to Canada. There’s a level of expertise in France, in Europe specifically at the Paris Breast Centre that I don’t think you can obtain in Canada the United States. Their unique model, their unique approach to breast cancer was something that I wanted to take back and pursue.

The concept of oncoplastic surgery started in Europe and I think the team at the Paris Breast Center were paramount in developing these techniques. I think that these techniques are slowly getting integrated in the United States and Canada. But we have not made the jump to these techniques at this point. The best opportunity for me was to come to Paris and to learn from the group at the Paris Breast Centre who are truly the world leaders when it comes to oncoplastic breast surgery incorporating plastic surgery techniques into breast oncology. It’s an idea that was started by Dr. CLOUGH and his team in Paris.

My time in France I do not consider it as a sacrifice at all. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the team at the Paris Breast Centre. I think I’m learning new things every day whether it be surgical techniques or patient management decisions or wound care tricks or how to set up an office, how to run an integrated Breast Centre. So to me I’m not sacrificing anything. I think it’s a great opportunity. I’m very honored to be given the opportunity.

I think the instruction is great. Dr. CLOUGH and Dr. SARFATI are excellent teachers in the operating room, always explaining what they’re doing. I truly believe this is training that I wouldn’t have obtained in Canada or the United States.
