Hi there
At my first consult with my breast cancer surgeon ( before we knew whether it would be a lumpectomy or mastectomy) he referred me to a plastic surgeon he works with who does a lot of reconstructive breast surgery for breast cancer patients.

I ended up having a double mastectomy with delayed DIEP flap surgery.
