Interviews with Board Certified Surgeons

At DiepCFoundation, we are honored to present these surgeon interviews covering various topics on breast reconstruction. It is our mission to empower women and men with information to make an informed decision about options for breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

The surgeons interviewed are memebers of the American Society of Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Breast Surgeons. Through theses surgeon interviews, we hope to provide you with the questions you can ask at your own surgical consult or as you progress through healing after surgery.
