For women facing a breast cancer diagnosis, it can seem like the challenges just keep coming one after the other, from dealing with the diagnosis itself to determining a treatment plan to getting through a mastectomy or lumpectomy surgery. For those who required or opted for a mastectomy, or whose lumpectomy resulted in dramatic changes to their breast(s), one of these challenges is deciding what type of breast reconstruction to have. As a double board-certified plastic surgeon with a special interest in breast reconstruction, that’s where I come in.

I’ve dedicated my YouTube channel to educating the public about many elements of plastic and reconstructive surgery in order to empower patients to be knowledgeable about their own procedures. One of my videos is ideal for women who are just beginning their breast reconstruction journey and who need a brief summary of their options:

Finding the best breast reconstruction option for you is a process which requires patience and research, as well as help from an experienced plastic surgeon, but in the end, restoring your confidence with breasts that make you feel comfortable can be well worth the effort. Schedule a consultation with me, Dr. Franklyn Elliott, to discuss your breast reconstruction options in more detail.

Coming up at the end of October, Dr. Franklyn Elliott will be attending Plastic Surgery The Meeting from October 26^th-30^th in New Orleans. This annual conference will feature numerous panels and lectures about plastic and reconstructive surgery, scientific paper sessions, small group interactive sessions, and instructional courses.

Dr. Elliott enjoys both attending and participating in various plastic surgery events. Just this past summer he was able to travel to Rome and Uzbekistan to share his passion for teaching with other surgeons about the latest plastic and reconstructive breast surgery techniques and technology.

In New Orleans, Dr. Elliott will be part of the event’s panel discussing comprehensive breast reconstruction. This three hour course will review all methods of breast reconstruction, including latissimus reconstruction, implant reconstruction and TRAM flap reconstruction. Other topics that will be discussed during the course include patient selection, management of complications, and methods for secondary correction including nipple-areolar reconstruction.

Dr. Elliott finds these conferences important as they provide the opportunity for plastic surgeons from all over to share thoughts and ideas to continually improve the plastic surgery field. He is looking forward to interacting with colleagues, sharing his knowledge, and will be sure to report the highlights when he returns from The Big Easy.
