Oncologist vs. plastic surgeon for explanting?

June 3, 2015
Asked By:suba77 in Liverpool, GB

Hi there, I am getting an explant by an oncologist, not a plastic surgeon. Can you explain if there would be a difference in the way either of them would explant? And do you think its fine to get the explant with the Oncologist? SHe is the head consultant on the unit in the hospital. Thankyou very much
