Send us a textIn this episode, my interview with my own reconstructive breast surgeon, Dr. David Cabiling graciously explains what autologous surgery is, in particular, the DIEP Flap surgery, which is what I had in December of 2022.  He explains the difference between autologous surgeries and surgeries that involve implants, recovery time, nipple-sparing, different options for patients, and how autologous surgeries can serve as restorative procedures, which helps tremendously with body image and confidence after a breast cancer diagnosis. I know that my surgery saved my life,  physically, mentally, and emotionally.Dr. Cabiling is part of an incredible team of professional surgeons and support staff at Center For Restorative Breast Surgery in New Orleans, Louisiana.
