I had a bilateral mastectomy followed by DIEP flap reconstruction of both breasts. I had a great outcome. I had no issues with infection or really any problems after my surgery. The recovery time was made easier by attending physical therapy sessions which Dr. Whitfield arranged for me. Dr. Whitfield and his staff are very responsive and answer questions promptly. They also provide as much information as you can handle about the procedure.

I'm happy to hear you like your results and that you did not experience any post-op complications. I have heard from other women that physical therapy can be extremely helpful. Glad this worked well for you too. When was your original surgery date and how long did the entire process take?
