D.I.E.P. Surgeons in Orange County, California

Peachez1970

Hi, all:

I am looking for a plastic surgeon in Orange County, California that specializes in D.I.E.P. I've had Capsular Contracture (CC) twice in each breast and I don't want to endure another implant when my chances of a diagnosis of CC in the near future are fairly high. My PS is suggesting I replace Alloderm with Strattice this time around. Sounds good, but there will still be an implant involved; my body rejects the foreign objects so I'd like to use my own fat and skin and hope for success. By the way, I'm BRCA II. I am a previvor. I've lost an entire generation to cancers due to this mutated gene. My goal is to fight cancer, but now I'm fighting with Capsular Contraction. Please advice.

Peachez1970, you may find some helpful information here, Capsular Contracture and you may want to reach out to the Cancer Information Service (1-800-4-CANCER) to see if they could provide you with some local resources in your area. Certainly not in California, but you may want to consult with The Center for Restorative Breast Surgery in New Orleans as well, and see if they can make recommendations. https://www.breastcenter.com/about/.

We hope that you can get that managed, and be more comfortable.

Warmly,
