Choosing Reconstruction After Double Mastectomy | Duke Health

While Arlene Brown was pregnant with her son, Andrew, she learned she had triple-negative breast cancer. Maggie DiNome, MD, a breast surgeon at Duke, performed a bilateral, or double, mastectomy to remove Brown’s breast tissue and surrounding lymph nodes. At the same time, Rebecca Knackstedt, MD, a Duke microvascular surgeon, performed Brown’s breast reconstruction. Kackstedt explained that some women choose to have reconstruction while others don't. But it's important to know your options. Duke offers many advanced techniques, including direct-to-implant reconstruction, breast reconstruction with tissue expander, Goldilocks and flap surgery.
