''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.

''I came to Dr. Marian after I found out I was a carrier and following a warm recommendation from a friend. I was already under surveillance and just before surgery with another doctor, but the first second I sat with her, I realized that there was someone to trust. And so it was... an amazing, professional and attentive doctor. Amazing as a person and as a doctor.
The process was excellent and the results...even more so!
Highly recommend❣️

''I came to Dr. Hativ for a consultation before surgery. I went to 5 other doctors to get a professional opinion. The one who left a professional and personal impression on me was Dr. Hativ, which is a winning combination in my opinion... I liked her approach, she gave me hope and a good feeling To 2 doctors I went to for a consultation who made me afraid and worried about the outcome. Khativ told me not to worry and that he would be fine both health-wise and esthetically, and so it was.... What's more, she is both a breast surgeon and an oncologist, which in my eyes is a big advantage so there is no need to involve a plastic surgeon. In short, an angel doctor. Highly recommend!!!!

''Dr. Khativ is a very humane doctor. Dear Dr. Khativ took care of me and was involved in my entire recovery process. I successfully went through the Dutch and Shahzaner mastectomy division without complications and the doctor was available to me on the phone for any question I had during the entire recovery period. I literally forwarded pictures of the breasts and constantly received instructions from her. I felt in safe and good hands the whole way and I thank her from the bottom of my heart for that❤️

''Dr. Khativ received me at the beginning of the process and answered all my questions.
After the professionally done surgery, she was available and accessible (which is not obvious) and every question that arose for me was answered by her.
This was the case throughout the treatment and recovery
I want to say that I was and still am in the best possible hands with an open heart, a sensitive, professional and matter-of-fact doctor.

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.
