Our Surgeons

Omega Hospital stands at the forefront of breast cancer and breast reconstruction care, offering top-notch healthcare in an intimate and often luxurious atmosphere. World-class surgeons at Omega Hospital are leaders in breast reconstruction and breast conserving procedures, giving women more options than ever before. Doctors Ali Sadeghi & Robert Allen share an interest in advancing the quality of breast reconstruction and are experts in the revolutionary DIEP flap procedure, a procedure that reconstructs one’s breast from the abdominal fat. Also known as the "Tummy Tuck" flap, this procedure removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen. The DIEP flap operation differs from procedures of the past in that no muscle is removed, allowing for both a quicker recovery time and maintenance of core strength.

Drs. Allen and Sadeghi also perform the PAP and GAP procedures, which take skin and fat from the back of the thigh, under the buttock crease (PAP), or fat and skin are taken directly from the buttock (GAP). Operating under the belief that reconstruction is part microsurgery and part cosmetic surgery, Drs. Sadeghi and Allen work to make sure each breast is as natural as possible, and DIEP flap recipients have the added benefit of receiving new breasts and a tummy tuck simultaneously.

As a newly pioneered technique, fat grafting to the breast for rejuvenation and reconstruction is a procedure offered by Doctor Ali Sadeghi. This procedure is usually performed as an outpatient basis with the added benefit of removal of unwanted fat and rapid recovery.
