Breast Reconstruction Overview: Your Right, Your Choice

This is a talk, delivered by Dr. Joshua L. Levine, that has traditionally been given by Kathy Steligo. It goes through the book she wrote called The Breast Reconstruction Guidebook, a very comprehensive and an excellent explanation of all of breast reconstruction options. We’ll be talking today about what is a mastectomy; what are the options after mastectomy; very briefly touch on no reconstruction, which is called going flat. Then, we’ll talk about the different options related to breast reconstruction, how to choose a plastic surgeon, and how to make some of these difficult decisions.
