THE BEST Doctor and Staff for Reconstructive Breast Surgery - Folsom, CA

The diagnosis of breast cancer is so scarey that the last thing on my mind was reconstruction. But as things settled down,even though I was way past my child bearing years, and in fact a Grandma,I did this reconstruction for myself. I refused to be confined to wearing mastectomy bras and prosthesis in my swimming suit or having my clothes hang weirdly.

As a nurse, I did all my research with other professionals,visited the web sites of surgeons in my area and came up with Dr M as my choice of Plastic Surgeon.It was the best decision I made! Dr M and his staff have been so helpful and supportive of myself and family members from day 1.

Recovery has been great with the office and Dr M being there for any of my concerns.The result of the surgery is beautiful and everything I could have hoped for (and more).

Now I can pop into my yoga outfits, swim suits or even scoop neck tops without worry or hassles of how I might look.

Thank you Dr Mabourakh and staff!

Is your reconstruction complete? I would love it if you would share more of the details about your surgery itself, and what the healing phase was like for you.
