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, Maryland. 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 was 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 1970s. In the early 1980s he relocated to Nashville, where he founded the Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute and established a fellowship training program in breast and cosmetic surgery.

Maxwell is credited with a significant advance in the design of tissue expanders used for breast reconstruction, co-developing textured surfaces.[2][3](to decrease capsular contracture) and helping to introduce prostheses which more closely resemble the shape and feel of the natural breast. The two-stage method of expander-implant reconstruction as described by Maxwell and Spears has become the most widely used technique for implant-based breast reconstruction.[4]

His work on concepts of matching implants and surgical techniques to individual soft-tissue characteristics in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery[5] led to a method called the "biodimensional approach" which advanced dimensional analysis[6][7] rather than volume when using breast implants and expanders.[8]In 2003, Maxwell helped found the Inamed Academy, a series of international educational symposia focusing on breast surgery.[9]

He has contributed a number of articles to the anatomic descriptions, clinical applications, and aesthetic refinements of the transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM)[10] and latissimus flap procedures[11] for breast reconstruction, and is an authority on silicone breast implants and ultrasonic liposuction technologies.[12]

Maxwell was also the co-founder of the Tennessee-Kentucky chapter of Operation Smile, past president of the Nashville Chapter of the American Cancer Society, a founder and board member of the Aspen Center for Integrative Medicine, and co-founder and Executive EVP Diversified Specialty Institute.

On April 17, 2007 Maxwell was recognized for his contributions in medicine by Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) with a resolution read into in the US Congressional Record. [3]
