After being diagnosed with breast cancer in April...

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in April of 2013 and deciding to have a double mastectomy, I came to Dr. Lin looking for information on reconstructive surgery. He kindly informed me of all of my options, never pushing me one way or another. I was interested in DIEP flap surgery because I was looking for something more natural than implants. Dr. Lin told me that I was a candidate for this surgery, and after careful consideration of the pros and cons, I decided to have the surgery performed. The pros were that I would have breasts made from my stomach fat and skin, receive a tummy tuck as well, and avoid the discomfort (from what I've heard) of implants. The cons were that it was a 10-12 hour surgery and the recovery required 4-5 days in the hospital. Knowing that this was the best choice for me, I elected to have this surgery. I am extremely happy with the results and so glad that this was the route that I decided to take.

Dr. Lin is an extremely skilled surgeon. He is incredibly kind and has a wonderful bed-side manner. Before my surgery I was really nervous considering the length of the surgery and the recovery time. Dr. Lin was always there to answer my questions and assure me in every way. He is one of the nicest and down-to-earth doctors I have ever met. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering surgery, especially a DIEP flap.
