''From the moment I met Dr. Marian and throughout my surgery and follow ups, I felt a sense of relief and comfort.
In every appointment, she answered all my questions and showed me patience and kindness. My surgery went very well and her expertise throughout the process made the whole experience smooth and successful.
Dr. Marian was also highly responsive and whenever I reached out by phone she was happy to assist me and walk me through every step.
My experience was beyond positive and I am very thankful for her help, her incredible skills and her kindness.

''Dr. Marian was the first and only physician to examine me and immediately took decisive action by arranging biopsies, ensuring no time was wasted in understanding my case of breast cancer. She handled all documentation and appointments with exceptional speed and efficiency, and took the time to explain my diagnosis and treatment plan with clarity and complete transparency. Her guidance led me to an excellent oncology team, and she continued to follow up closely with me before and long after my surgery. Even on weekends, she remained accessible, responsive, and genuinely invested in my well-being, showing empathy, openness, and remarkable dedication.

''Dr. Hativ is a professional, very talented, precise, humane and caring surgeon. I underwent excision surgery and bilateral reconstruction with silicone and from the first moment I had the feeling that I was in good hands. Dr. Hativ explained everything and prepared me for the surgery in a clear way and gave me confidence. The surgery was successful, without complications and the result is very beautiful. Even after the surgery, in all the reviews the conduct is pleasant with a lot of patience. I thank Dr. Hativ from the bottom of my heart and recommend her
Warmly as a rare professional woman.

''Dr. Hativ, she is a gift from heaven. Professional, pleasant, available, and her surgeries are beautiful, the scars are invisible, and I have seen quite a few scars of patients operated on by other surgeons. If you have medical insurance that covers surgeries, there is nothing to think twice about. Praise from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Marian

''I came to Dr. for a (fourth) opinion very confused and stressed, and I immediately felt that she was professional, understanding and sensitive. She gave a very clear and in-depth explanation, which immediately gave me certainty and security, and made a quick appointment for lymphectomy surgery and reconstruction and performed it superbly. The whole process was efficient and fast and much less painful and scary than I feared. Dr. Hativ was attentive, supportive and readily available the whole way and I felt comfortable asking her any question and I always received a professional, patient and pleasant answer. Highly recommend.

''Dr. Marian is a doctor with supreme grace who combines professionalism at the highest level alongside humanity, empathy, sensitivity and endless patience. I don't have enough words to describe my appreciation and appreciation for her.
I came to Dr. Marian after a mastectomy and reconstruction surgery, which unfortunately got complicated and I had to undergo another surgery. I was in a fragile situation, not easy at all and thanks to close, personal support and optimism throughout the process I was able to receive and draw from her a lot of strength and hope for the future, thanks to which I am in a good and calm place.

''Dr. Hativ accompanied me from the discovery of the disease along the very difficult path to the surgery (full excision and reconstruction) with such professionalism, sensitivity and care and of course - a perfect result. Although I was treated in the public system - Ichilov, but everything that concerns Dr. Hativ had the feeling of private medicine - at any hour When I had a question, Dr. Khativ answered me with a calmness and patience that are truly incomprehensible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of an Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon in my treatment?
Our role combines cancer surgery with plastic surgery techniques to remove breast cancer while maintaining your breast's natural appearance. We plan and perform operations that prioritize both your cancer treatment and cosmetic outcomes.
Which breast procedures do you perform?
We offer a comprehensive range of procedures including breast-conserving surgery, oncoplastic reconstruction, mastectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, symmetry procedures, and risk-reducing surgery. Each procedure is tailored to your specific needs.
How does Oncoplastic Surgery differ from traditional breast cancer surgery?
Oncoplastic surgery combines tumor removal with immediate reconstruction in a single operation. This approach allows us to achieve the best possible aesthetic result while maintaining the same high standards of cancer treatment.
What are the benefits of choosing Oncoplastic Breast Surgery?
This approach offers better cosmetic results, higher chances of breast preservation, and reduced need for additional reconstructive surgeries. Many patients experience improved self-image and quality of life after their procedure.
Am I a suitable candidate for Oncoplastic Breast Surgery?
Suitability depends on several factors including your cancer type and stage, breast size and shape, overall health, and personal preferences. We'll discuss all options during your consultation to determine the best approach for your situation.
What is the expected recovery time after surgery?
Most patients return to light activities within 2 weeks and fully recover within 4-6 weeks. However, recovery time varies depending on the procedure and individual healing factors. We'll provide detailed recovery guidelines based on your specific surgery.
Is Oncoplastic Breast Surgery covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover these procedures as they are part of cancer treatment. Our office will work with your insurance provider to determine coverage and assist with necessary authorizations.
When can reconstructive surgery be performed after radiation or chemotherapy?
Timing depends on your individual treatment plan and healing progress. We typically recommend waiting 6-12 months after radiation therapy. We'll coordinate with your oncology team to determine the optimal timing.
What are the potential risks and complications?
While we take every precaution, potential risks include infection, bleeding, changes in sensation, asymmetry, and delayed healing. We'll discuss all possible complications and preventive measures during your consultation.
How will you ensure breast symmetry after surgery?
We use careful pre-operative planning and various surgical techniques to achieve symmetry. This may include adjusting the unaffected breast if needed. We'll monitor your results through regular follow-up appointments and can perform additional adjustments if necessary.
