Plastic Surgery Q and A

Question: I just finished my radiation and chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer. I have also had two radical mastectomies and am anxious to have breast reconstruction surgery. When does Dr. Corbin recommend starting breast reconstruction?
Answer: If you have just completed generally Dr. Corbin recommends waiting 6 months before starting any breast reconstruction. However the patient should be seen prior to the 6 months to be evaluated to see what procedure would give her the best outcome.
