What type of plastic surgeon performs reconstructive surgery after a mastectomy?

In: Health, Breast Cancer, Surgery and Hospitalization, Doctors, Surgeons [Edit categories]

Answer:

Sometimes the surgeon who did the mastectomy can recommend a plastic surgeon. I had my reconstruction " tram flap" done by a plastic surgeon who is also a hand surgeon , he specilized in reconstruction and micro vascular surgery but also does facelifts and other plastic surgery. I had gone to 3 plastic sugeons for consultation, all were recommended, and picked the one that spend the most time with me, answered all my questions, explained everything in detail, pros and cons of the type of procedure I wanted.
