The Doctor that Alice is referring to is Dr Marga Massey,MD,FACS.( She is double board certified in plastics and general surgery)
"Dr Massey has been interested in lymphadema for 15 years.During her residency at Duke a senior cardiac surgeon assigned her the topic. With the initial study of the historic "Charles Procedure" and lymphovenous bypass,a plastic surgeon was born."
Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer (VLNTx) is a novel approach where normal lymphatic tissue us transferred from one area of the body to another.
Dr Marga has trained in Paris under the mentorship of Dr Corrine Becker which has resulted in a collaboration extending to the US Brazil and Egypt.
Dr Massey recently joined forces with the Center for Restorative Breast Surgery (Drs DellaCroce and Sullivan) in New Orleans (which thrills me no end!).. What a step up for us BC survivors to have a facility of this calibre available to us!
