Breast Cancer Surgery
With No Visible Scar
NYU Winthrop is Long Island’s first Hidden Scar® Center of Excellence.
NYU Winthrop’s Breast Health Center, first in Nassau County to be accredited by the
National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), is now the first hospital
on Long Island to offer Hidden Scar surgery, a sophisticated new approach to breast
cancer surgery that hides the scar so effectively it’s virtually invisible.
A specially trained Hidden Scar surgeon makes a small incision—much smaller than
with traditional breast surgery—in a hidden area, beneath the breast, for example.
The cancerous tissue is removed through that incision, thus preserving the natural
shape of the breast. Less accessible tissue is illuminated with special technology to be
seen clearly by the surgeon and removed with virtually no scarring.
At NYU Winthrop, we have always understood the powerful emotions that can
overwhelm any woman dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis. That’s why we are so
pleased to be the first to make available this remarkable surgical advance. To learn
more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyuwinthrop.org.
