Dr. Stephanie Caterson

Dr. Stephanie Caterson brings her extensive microsurgery experience and passion for breast reconstruction to ChristianaCare, where she developed the Center for Breast Reconstruction to be able to offer breast reconstruction to our community based on the individual goals and needs of each patient. 

Offering innovative surgical techniques at the time of breast cancer diagnosis helps the patient look and feel restored when treatment is over. Dr. Caterson specializes in microsurgical flap reconstruction using skin, fat, blood vessels and sometimes muscle from other parts of the body to reconstruct one or both breasts lost in cancer treatment.  These advanced flap techniques are offered to our patients along with numerous other implant based procedures. To date, Dr. Caterson has performed breast reconstruction on thousands of patients with more than 1,500 of those being microsurgical flap procedures.
