Plastic Surgeon: A board certified plastic surgeon with experience in microsurgery is advantageous as they can offer the most advanced forms of reconstruction using your own tissues- giving natural reconstruction while improving contour of the donor site (usually abdomen). Microsurgery (diep flaps) can also save your abdominal muscles vas opposed to the traditional tram flap.
