Re: Advice

breastrecontruction.org has a great lat flap section that explains the procedure very well

http://breastreconstruction.org/Type...orsi_flap.html

I know one survivor that had the procedure done by my reconstructive surgeon and she is very happy with her result.

In my humble opinion, these kind of surgeries require a microsurgeon/reconstructive surgeon as opposed to a doc who is just trained in plastic surgery.
