Post Cancer Breast Reconstruction

Description: Physicians at the Center for Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center treat patients to restore both functionality and aesthetic conditions following treatment for trauma, cancer, and other diseases. Drs. Peter Neligan and Otway Louie discuss options for breast reconstruction following cancer surgery, including a procedure that uses a patient's own abdominal tissue to create natural implants, the options for matching breast shape after a single mastectomy, and nipple reconstruction for a more natural appearance. Cindy Perry, a cancer patient who had breast reconstruction with Dr. Otway Louie, talks about her experience with using her own tissue for an implant.
