Breast Reconstruction Tips for Black Women

[@mrmajik9]

This video changed my whole mindset on my DCIS. Being a woman of color I was scared I would be butchered or pressured to reconstruct to something that was suitable for Skin like mine which most pictures of Black women reconstruction looked butchered. I only saw a few that were beautifully done. I hope I can find a Dr. to give me nice results despite my skin color.
