I am thinking of having a DIEP reconstruction and research reveals that success often depends on the expertise of the micro surgery. How can I find a really experienced plastic surgeon with expertise in micro surgery… and who had done plenty of these DIEP operations?
I live in the West Country but would happily travel to London or elsewhere, for the right surgeon. Does anyone have any informed recommendations?
Please may I just remind everyone that we are not allowed to name health professionals on this site. If you want to name individual doctors could you use the private messaging facility.
Thank you

Hi there
Just to say Ill post a link to an article which might help. There is also a website called Dr Foster which gives some recommendations.
Id also speak to your original surgeon if you can-they can usually recommend someone. You could then ask to speak to ex-patients of his/her to get a first hand opinion-many offer this.
Best of luck with your research.
