I had recurrent Dcis breast cancer that became invasive. I was forced into the Diep flap surgery by the hospital and they had an 11 week wait time for the operation. I wasn’t shown any pictures of what it would look like and the recovery was horrendous. Even though the breast feels natural i...
People who I've allowed to see my surgery site are amazed at how natural it looks! I had the DIEP flap procedure and I'm happy with it. I will be using him for any and all revisions should I decide to proceed with any.
Dr.Miles was recommended to me from the past chief surgeon of LLUMC because he was an excellent micro vascular surgeon to perform my DIEP breast reconstruct. He is a true artist and his caring nature to the patient and family is outstanding. I have held hands and prayed with him before ...

What a year 2015 has been. This is a very shortened version of what I wanted to write. I left out the doubts, fears, and quite a bit of the healing process. I can add that later. January 6, 2015, I have a biopsy of my right breast. That Friday, January 9th, I learn I have Lobular Carcinoma in...
Due to Ductal Carcinoma inSitu, I opted for a double mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction. Dr Pisano and team performed the 10 hour surgery. Removed all breast tissue, sparing the skin and nipples. They removed tissue from my abdomen, giving me a ‘tummy tuck’ in the process. Every ste...
