G. Patrick Maxwell is a Nashville, Tennessee based plastic surgeon, and an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Vanderbilt University [1].

Maxwell is a graduate of the Vanderbilt University Medical School, and subsequently trained in General and then Plastic Surgery at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. He also completed a fellowship in microsurgery at the University of California, San Francisco with microsurgical pioneer, Harry J. Buncke, and in hand surgery at the Curtis Hand Center in Baltimore, Maryland.[2]

Maxwell became known as the surgeon and co-author of the first successful report of microsurgical transfer of the latissimus muscle flap [1], at Johns Hopkins University in the late 1970's. In the early 1980s, he relocated to Nashville,TN and founded the Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute which established a fellowship program in breast and cosmetic surgery.

Maxwell is credited with a signifigant advance in the design of tissue expanders used for breast reconstruction, co-developing(U.S. patent 5,092,348) textured surfaces [2](to decrease capsular contracture) and helping introduce prostheses in order to more closely resemble the shape and feel of the natural breast. The two-stage method of expander-implant reconstruction described by Maxwell and Spears has become a widely used technique for implant-based breast reconstruction.

His work on concepts of matching implants and surgical techniques to individual soft-tissue charcteristics in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery [3]led to a method called the "biodimensional approach" which advanced dimensional analysis rather than volume when using breast implants and expanders. [4]In 2003, Maxwell helped found the Inamed Academy, a series of international educational symposiums focusing on breast surgery. [5]

He has contributed a number of articles to the anatomic descriptions, clinical applications, and aesthetic refinements of the transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) [PMID 8187418] and latissimus flap procedures [PMID 7273637] for breast reconstruction, and is an authority on silicone breast implants and ultrasonic liposuction technologies [PMID 9427937].
