[ Ссылка ] 🌸 In this insightful discussion, Dr. David Light, MD, sheds light on Breast Implant Illness (BII) and the various reconstruction options available for affected patients. Dr. Light emphasizes the distinction between patients who had implants for cosmetic reasons and those who underwent mastectomy. For the latter, the focus often shifts to an aesthetic flap closure, aimed at removing excess skin and achieving a neat chest wall appearance without reconstructing the breast.

For patients seeking an alternative to implants, natural tissue or autologous reconstruction, such as the DIEP flap from the lower abdomen or tissue from the thighs, buttocks, or love handles, offers a promising solution. Dr. Light highlights the expertise required for these procedures and reassures that many skilled surgeons across various states offer these options. Join us as Stephanie shares her personal experience, providing a patient's perspective on the benefits of natural tissue reconstruction. This video is essential for women considering their options post-implant removal or those facing issues with their implants.

David Light, MD is a fellowship trained, board certified plastic surgeon with a dual practice, focused on breast reconstruction and aesthetic surgery. Dr. Light is an aesthetic surgeon at heart, with a passion for breast reconstruction. Patients and colleagues recognize him for his surgical acumen and warm bedside manner. He approaches both his cosmetic and reconstructive patients with the same meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to compassionate, personalized care that delivers beautiful, natural-looking results.

Dr. Light performs over 300 primary and revision breast reconstructions a year. He is an expert in microsurgical breast reconstruction techniques, including DIEP, SIEA, PAP, TUG and LAP flaps. He was among the first to perform hybrid flaps, extended DIEP flaps, and stacked flaps for patients who prefer natural tissue breast reconstruction but may not have enough volume using a single tissue flap. Dr. Light has a special interest in helping those who were either not offered reconstruction or are unsatisfied with their current reconstruction. He performs delayed and complex revision breast reconstructions for patients who were previously refused, both regionally and nationally.

About Learn Look Locate LLC
Cynthia Jordan, Founder of Learn Look Locate LLC in 2018 has generated a global movement to provide critical education for the early detection of breast cancer. It is estimated that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. While most of these cases are diagnosed in women over the age of 50, the disease can affect women of any age. Early detection is critical to survival, yet many women are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.

The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.

There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.

There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.

Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
