When Valerie Pingel had a double mastectomy, her breast reconstruction took place at the same time.
Dr. Peter Neligan and Dr. Hakim Said, from the Center for Reconstructive Surgery at University of Washington Medical Center, used Ms. Pingel's own abdominal tissue to create natural implants.
She woke up from surgery with new breasts already in place, and because they're her own tissue, the implants won't have to be replaced in the future.
