With a team-based approach to breast reconstruction, who is involved in your care and what each team member does is important.
Your breast reconstruction team should feature the following team members:
- Primary care physician
- Radiologist
- Breast surgeon
- Plastic surgeon
- Radiation oncologist
- Physical therapist
- Registered dietician
There are many team players, but a plastic surgeon should be on the healthcare team for those facing mastectomy. The options, risks, outcomes, and results can only be best imparted to the patient by the plastic surgeon who will reconstruct the breasts.
