Breast Reconstruction with Tummy Tuck. Duluth, GA

I was high risk for breast cancer. I decided after seeing consulting my family doctor, several oncologists, and 2 surgeons that my best chance for not getting breast cancer was to have a double skin sparing masectomy with reconstruction. Expanders were placed right after the masectomy. I developed a staph infection, which is rare, but not uncommon when you are doing skin (nipple) sparing surgery (part of my nipple did decay due to loss of blood supply causing the infection). The infection was caught early, but the expanders had to come out and I had to heal for 6 months. Dr. Song and his staff kept a close eye on me through all of it. While I was healing I decided to eat a clean diet, and exercise to be in the best shape I could be. I lost 16 lbs before having the next surgery - a latissimus dorsi flap with expanders. I recovered from that surgery with no problems and had the final reconstruction with implants in November 2015. I decided to also have a tummy tuck too! I was a size B breast cup prior to all of this, and went to a C cup. I love it! If I ever need any other type of plastic surgery - I will go to Dr. Song!!
