Dr. Whitfield is a highly experienced breast enhancement surgeon who performs breast augmentation and other cosmetic surgeries of the breast. He offers the full range of implant shapes and sizes in order to give his patients the bustline and contour they desire. Dr. Whitfield is also one of the few surgeons in the United States who perform the advanced DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap surgery, a form of breast reconstruction. This sophisticated procedure can provide women who have lost one or both breasts with aesthetically pleasing results. Unlike other reconstruction techniques, the DIEP flap method uses abdominal skin and tissue, but not muscle, to form the new breast. In addition, the DIEP flap procedure allows many women who are not good candidates for other reconstruction procedures to achieve their dreams of having breast reconstruction.

Dr. Whitfield believes that open communication between the doctor and the patient is paramount to achieving good surgical results. He personally meets with all of his patients to learn about their goals and needs, address their concerns and perform detailed preoperative evaluations. Dr. Whitfield takes as much time as necessary to explain the proposed procedures in great detail and answer any questions. This caring, individualized approach allows him to develop highly customized treatment plans to deliver consistent surgical results.

Dr. Whitfield performs all procedures at the Froedtert Surgery Center. He and his team of medical professionals strive to make the treatment experience as comfortable as possible. From the first phone call to the last follow-up visit, they are always on hand to assist patients with their needs. Dr. Whitfield's training and experience allow him to confidently perform an array of surgical procedures in addition to breast augmentation and breast reconstruction surgery, including body contouring procedures such as tummy tuck and liposuction and facial beautification procedures such as facelift, facial implants, forehead lift, rhinoplasty (nose surgery) and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Dr. Whitfield performs all procedures with the utmost attention to detail.
