Episode 71 about Flap-based options in Breast Reconstruction is Part 2 of our mini-series. What are flaps, anyway? Previous episode 70 discussed Implant reconstructions, and again you can refer back to Episode 21 for an overview of all of Breast Reconstruction. But today we have the pioneer of the DIEP flap, Dr. Robert Allen, who is Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at LSU, among other positions, and practices in New Orleans, Charleston, and New York City. He shares his extensive experience in using one’s own body tissues to make a new breast after cancer. Listen to his explanation of current options, and he has a couple of great patient stories too!
