Hi Katie
I have just listened to a podcast available on the Breacan site where a plastic surgeon talks about reconstruction options. He did discuss this type (I think it is the type of recon you are talking about) right at the very end. It might be worth listening too. He did say it was a procedure he wasn't comfortable performing for a variety of reasons and that there are not many surgeons who do it.
Here is the link - it's pretty long and he only briefly mentions using your other breast as a donor site at the very end.
All the best,
Amanda
