Patient had mastectomy for breast cancer and on the same day her left breast was reconstructed with abdominal tissue (DIEP flap). Six months later patient had nipple reconstruction and did not require any further adjustments. The skin of the flap is only in the middle of the breast, representing the areola, while the rest is breast skin. This is usually possible when the reconstruction is done immediately.
“Elena did an excellent job of my surgery. The process was explained clearly to me and all went as planned. My scars are very neat and I have been well looked after before, during and after my operation. Elena explained how I should take care of myself with special attention to scars and I feel that went a long way to the success of my surgery. I would definitely recommend Elena as a surgeon.â€
