Re: "Love handles" repurposed for breast reconstruction
Lani~ If they are speaking of the same area NOLA has been using this area for a while. It sounds like Hopkins is following suit and using the area. It is also referred to as Hip Flap. I had this procedure done Jan 26, 2010 and honestly it is wonderful. i rejected implants and my PS did everything that she could but my body didn't like implants. I am now sporting around my repurposed love handle and loving the new girls.
I would be happy to talk to anyone who is interested. The procedure took less than 5 hours with Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Trahan in NOLA at the Center for Restorative Breast Surgery.
