When faced with my own double mastectomy, I was fortunate enough to find skilled and empathetic support from Dr. Tim Matatov, a highly regarded plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Southwest Breast and Aesthetics. This episode is an in-depth conversation about that journey, where we unpack the marvels and challenges of reconstructive surgery, the options available to breast cancer patients, and the anatomical and biological traits that play a critical role in the process.
Navigating the difficult choices that come with a breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. That's why Dr. Matatov and I get candid about the importance of shared decision-making and how information overload can lead to 'choice paralysis.' We also talk about breast implant illness and the challenges in accommodating all types of reconstruction.
We round off this enlightening conversation by exploring the options for breast reconstruction using silicone implants, autologous tissue reconstruction, and other types of flap surgeries. We highlight the risks, particularly the risk of flap loss, and share how these can be minimized. The process of nipple reconstruction and the role of medical tattoos in creating an illusion of an areola are given their due attention. This episode is a valuable listen for anyone grappling with breast cancer and considering reconstructive surgery.
