Register through Zoom: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_fyf98FEuSAyFQc6IY1I3MA
Poor post-mastectomy sensation remains one of the final frontiers in breast reconstruction. In this webinar, Drs. Anne Peled (Sutter Health and Adventist Health) and Ziv Peled (Peled Surgery) will describe a technique that they have pioneered to optimize sensation in women undergoing mastectomy and implant-based reconstruction. They will describe their innovative methods and results as a possible standard of care.
Join us on Wednesday, October 18th at 8 am PT (11:00 am ET) for our free Keynote Webinar on Optimizing Post-Mastectomy Sensation in Implant-Based Reconstruction. The webinar will consist of a 40-minute lecture followed by a 15-minute question and answer session.

Speaker – Dr. Anne Peled
About the Speaker
Based in San Francisco, Dr. Anne Peled is a surgeon, an educator, a researcher, a mother, an athlete, and a breast cancer survivor. Just a few years into starting her own thriving breast cancer and plastic surgery practice, Anne was diagnosed with breast cancer herself, which gives her the unusual perspective of both the expert and the patient. This has also only strengthened her dedication to provide the most empathic and personal care for her patients, to research and innovate the most cutting-edge techniques and practices for breast cancer surgery and reconstruction, and to educate her peers and the public on the best care and prevention for breast cancer and breast health.
Originally from Washington, DC, Dr. Peled moved to San Francisco after attending Amherst College and Harvard Medical School to complete a plastic and reconstructive surgery residency and a breast surgical oncology fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. She is the co-director of the Breast Care Center of Excellence at Sutter Health California Pacific Medical Center and has extensive research experience focused on improving outcomes after breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction. Dr. Peled also regularly teaching at courses across the U.S. to increase awareness around these approaches.
With her husband Dr. Ziv Peled, also a board-certified plastic surgeon, she is currently pioneering an entirely new way of treating breast cancer with a combined mastectomy and reconstruction technique that preserves the nipple, the skin, and the sensation, with manageable recovery and hospital time. She started researching this method of surgery when she herself was faced with the decision about what treatment to have for breast cancer, and there was no option like this available to her at that time. Her goal is, and always has been, for women to come out of her care feeling stronger than they ever have been, and it is this holistic approach to healthcare that is the underpinning to her practice and her teaching.

Speaker – Dr. Ziv M. Peled
About the Speaker
Ziv M. Peled, MD is a Board-Certified plastic surgeon trained to perform the full spectrum of aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgical procedures. He completed his medical school training at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine where he earned honors in multiple surgical disciplines. He subsequently completed four years of rigorous general surgical training at the University of Connecticut during which he also completed an additional two-year, post-doctoral Basic Science Research Fellowship at Stanford University under the tutelage of Dr. Michael T. Longaker, a pioneer in the field of scarless wound healing. During that time, Dr. Peled not only helped establish Dr. Longaker’s laboratory at Stanford, but was also awarded a 5-year NIH grant for his work in keloid biology and scarless wound repair. Ziv then completed a prestigious and highly sought-after plastic surgical residency at Harvard University. While there, he was awarded an “Excellence in Teaching” award from the Harvard medical students. Dr. Peled continued to hone his specialty skills with an additional year of training in peripheral nerve surgery at the Dellon Institute for Peripheral Nerve and Plastic Surgery. He is Board-Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which means that he graduated from an accredited medical school, completed numerous years of residency training, and successfully passed a series of comprehensive written and oral examinations. The American Board of Plastic Surgery is one of only a select few specialty boards recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and is the only ABMS board which certifies candidates in the specialty of plastic surgery of the entire body. Dr. Peled is also a member of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons.
In addition to his aesthetic and reconstructive work, Dr. Peled helped found a peripheral nerve surgery institute here in San Francisco. In that institute, he served as Director and Chief Plastic & Peripheral Nerve Surgeon. His specific training enables him to perform a unique set of surgical procedures designed specifically to restore sensation and minimize/eliminate pain in patients suffering from chronic headaches such as migraines as well as neuropathy due to diabetes, chemotherapy and thyroid disorders. Along with his wife Anne, (also a renowned oncoplastic surgeon) they have pioneered an operation to restore/preserve sensation to women undergoing mastectomy for cancer treatment or cancer prevention. Ziv Peled has also treated many patients with various forms of nerve trauma as well as many other types of nerve disorders. Dr. Peled has authored and co-authored over 40 manuscripts and book chapters on all aspects of plastic surgery and has presented his work at numerous national and international meetings. He has performed hundreds of peripheral nerve procedures of various kinds. Ziv is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and an active member of the American Society for Peripheral Nerve (ASPN). This latter honor recognizes and highlights Dr. Peled’s breadth of work with peripheral nerve patients suffering from chronic headaches such as migraines and diabetes as well as his published work on peripheral nerve surgery. As a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, he has served numerous times as a lecturer and instructor on headache/migraine surgery, helping to teach other surgeons at the annual, international meeting of the Society. As a member of the ASPN, he has moderated panels on peripheral nerve surgery at several of the annual, international meetings of the Society, served on several committees and is a former associate editor of the ASPN newsletter. Dr. Peled won the Best Paper Award at the annual meeting of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2015 for his work on a novel approach to treating temporal headaches and again in 2019 for his work on sensation-preserving mastectomy with his wife. Dr. Peled also serves as an editor for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, the world’s leading plastic surgical publication and its open access counterpart, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open. He has previously volunteered for the American Diabetes Association and has traveled to South America to provide reconstructive surgery to underprivileged children. In his spare time, he actively competes in both Half-Ironman and Ironman-distance
