Episode Breast Reconstruction: What No One Tells You
Specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr Hamish Farrow joins Vain-ish for Boobie Month to discuss breast reconstruction - from cancer recovery to congenital conditions like Poland syndrome and tuberous breast deformity. Dr Hamish explains nipple-sparing and risk-reducing surgery, the DIEP flap technique, and how breast and plastic surgeons work together in the operating theatre. He also breaks down nipple reconstruction, inverted nipples, scars, and what reconstructed breasts can feel like.
For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, consider this your reminder to prioritise your breast health and speak with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or questions.
