At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, our own Dr. Tim Matatov recently joined the DiepCJourney podcast to discuss the advanced stacked flap breast reconstruction technique. As a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in microsurgery, Dr. Matatov shared insights into how this procedure helps patients achieve natural, long-lasting results after mastectomy.
The stacked flap technique involves layering two flaps to provide sufficient volume for reconstruction, particularly beneficial in cases where a single donor site does not provide enough tissue. At our practice, we also use a bipedicle flap approach, utilizing two connected blood vessels from the abdomen to transfer tissue as a single piece. This method is especially useful for skin resurfacing in radiated patients and for achieving symmetry in unilateral mastectomy cases.
Dr. Matatov explained the recovery process and how our team ensures personalized care for optimal outcomes. To learn more about stacked flap reconstruction, listen to the podcast and connect with Southwest Breast & Aesthetics through our website.
At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, our own Dr. Arvind Gowda has been featured on the DiepCJourney podcast to discuss advanced breast reconstruction techniques. In a recent episode, Dr. Gowda shared insights on autologous reconstruction, where a patient’s own tissue is used to restore the breast after mastectomy.
Dr. Gowda, a fellowship-trained microsurgeon, collaborates with his team in Phoenix, Arizona, emphasizing the importance of the co-surgeon model. This approach enhances surgical precision, optimizes patient outcomes, and improves the overall experience. He also highlighted the critical role of Physician Assistants (PAs) in and out of the operating room, ensuring seamless patient communication and follow-up care.
During the interview, Dr. Gowda discussed how patients should assess their goals to make informed decisions about breast reconstruction. He also shared details about his training, morning routine, and favorite workouts to stay strong for his patients.
