Solutions often begin with a conversation. When faced with the task of planning your surgery, it is the goal of the DiepCJourney podcast to provide a pathway to workable solutions for those affected by breast cancer.
My guest is Dr. Andrew Elkwood, an international expert in advanced reconstruction and a highly skilled microsurgeon. Dr. Elkwood is the founder of The Plastic Surgery Center and Institute for Advanced Reconstruction (IFAR) in New Jersey.
You can also visit www.advancedreconstruction.com or call 954-218-5137 to schedule a consultation with a surgeon on these advanced and specialty conditions. The surgeons in the IFAR network perform breast reconstruction surgery due to loss of breast after mastectomy from breast cancer.
They also perform the following surgery addressing conditions that arise due to breast cancer treatment, many of which are nerve related.
· post mastectomy pain syndrome
· radiation-induced brachial plexopathy (numbness, tingling, weakness in the shoulder and/or arm
