Latissimus Dorsi Flap and Dr. Richard Brown

Just wanted to give accolades to Dr. Brown, who performed the LD Flap surgery for me in January, 2018. I am so lucky to have found him after capsular contracture on both sides from my 2016 surgeries. I was in a lot of pain, particularly across my breast bone, and both breasts were cold! Recovery from the flap surgery was much better than I expected, and other than some tightness in my back (and a scary week with a bad infection) my breasts are now soft and I have very little pain. I have opted out of nipples or tattoos, and feel like I look great again in my clothes. Thanks Dr. Brown! You have my vote for best Plastic Surgeon in Phoenix ...

I am very happy that I made the decision to have the LD Flap surgery. It was the only way to get rid of the scarring from double mastectomy and radiation. I had burning across my breast bone, thick scar tissue under the right side, so painful that I slept in a recliner for two years. The pain from scarring is now gone. Recovery will take awhile, then Dr. Brown will remove the expanders and insert new implants, but I'm happy so far.

Dr. Brown and Missy made me feel comfortable from the first meeting. Dr. Brown gave me not only his opinion of the procedures to get rid of the scar tissue and pain, but has given me realistic expectations of how much better I can look when we're done. I still have some road to travel, but each time I see him I just want to hug him to say thanks for how much better I feel already!!! Missy is great -- looks you straight in the eye and eases your fears with her smile. Laurie is so pleasant that I could talk with her all day. It's really great to find a compassionate Doctor and staff who make you confident you can be whole again. I highly recommend Dr. Brown !
