A diagnosis of breast cancer
A diagnosis of breast cancer can be both physically and emotionally draining. Nebraska Medicine offers some of the most sophisticated breast reconstruction options to help women feel whole again after treatment is over.
Gina Westfall received DIEP flap breast reconstruction at Nebraska Medicine. DIEP flaps use only skin and fat for reconstruction, which is less physically demanding on a woman. A DIEP flap approach is best performed by a reconstructive plastic surgeon who has advanced knowledge and training in microvascular surgery due to its complexity. Nebraska Medicine is one of only a few breast programs in the region with microvascular-trained surgeons.
"I felt like someone was finally listening to me and I was given more options than just getting a double mastectomy and implants and moving on - because that's not what I want. I wanted to be as close to normal as possible. That's what we deserve as cancer patients in my opinion. We've been through so much," says Westfall.
