She has completed advances courses in the tattooing of the areola and nipple area for Breast Cancer Survivors and has become a referral source for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the American Cancer Society.

According to Ms. Maierle-Foss, "After working with plastic surgeons for many years whose practices included a large percentage of breast reconstruction surgical procedures, I realized how important it is to complete their rehabilitation through enhancing their positive image on the esthetic aspect of restoring cosmetic features to the breast area. Through these permanent cosmetic measures, women who have undergone breast reconstructive surgery emerge with a regained positive self-image. I was particularly drawn to working with the Smoot, Sadrian and Hollan medical team in part by the renowned breastwork of Dr. John Smoot; he is highly regarded within the plastic surgery industry and also serves as Chief of Plastic Surgery for Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla. It is an honor to be invited to join his staff."

Her passion is to educate all women that permanent make up is an integral component of breast reconstruction and that most insurance companies will underwrite a portion of the cost to undergo this procedure. In celebration of her new appointment, Ms. Maierle-Foss will be offering 50% discount on one procedure through May of 2012. To schedule an appointment, call Vicki directly at (619) 368-6269.
