Dialogue and Drawings for Your DIEP Flap Consultation

Lauren Whipple, MD, microsurgeon at PRMA in San Antonio, shares a presentation of meticulous and artistic anatomical illustrations she uses to compassionately guide her patients through their breast reconstruction consult.
We hope to empower patients with information and knowledge to engage in a shared decision-making conversation with their surgeon.
Dr. Whipple and the team of microsurgeons she works with practice the co-surgeon model where each patient who has flap procedures for breast reconstruction has two microsurgeons in the OR attending to them during their procedure.

Thank you so much for the very helpful presentation. I am at the time thinking which option I need to pick up for my breast construction. I finished radiation one month ago. This information answered my most of questions and concerns. My plastic surgeon told me to wait 6 months before construction. I kind of like to do the transplant surgery, but still want to keep breast skin, guess have to let surgeon evaluate if my breast skin can be used by then. Thank you both of you for your time and this gtreat education, I have learned a lot!
