I’m excited to share my new website dedicated to helping patients better understand lymphedema diagnosis and treatment options:
www.lymphedema-treatment.com
Lymphedema can affect quality of life in many ways, and understanding your options is the first step toward treatment. This website was created to provide clear, helpful information about:
• how lymphedema is diagnosed
• available treatment options
• surgical and non-surgical approaches
• what patients can expect during evaluation and care
My goal is to make this complex condition easier to understand for patients, families, and referring providers.
If you or someone you know is dealing with swelling after cancer treatment, surgery, or other causes of lymphatic dysfunction, I invite you to visit the site and learn more.

Implant-based vs DIEP flap breast reconstruction

One is simpler upfront.
One is more natural long-term.

The best option depends on YOUR anatomy, cancer treatment, and goals.

Make an informed decision.

Dr. Chaiyasate once performed surgery on a young man from Nigeria. Years later, that same young man went on to become a doctor.

Stories like this remind us that surgery is not only about reconstruction. It is about restoring hope, confidence, and the chance to keep moving forward. Seeing patients grow, thrive, and achieve their dreams is one of the greatest rewards in medicine.

Breast reconstruction has evolved. With DIEP flap reconstruction and resensation, we can rebuild the breast using your own tissue while also working to restore sensation over time. This approach focuses on both form and function, helping patients achieve a more natural reconstruction after mastectomy.

A genetic mutation such as BRCA can change the course of your life — but it does not define your future.

For women considering preventive mastectomy or breast cancer treatment, reconstruction can be an important part of healing. My goal is to provide natural, personalized reconstructive options that help patients feel whole again.

For women with a BRCA mutation or other gene-related breast cancer risk, understanding your surgical options matters. From risk-reducing mastectomy to breast reconstruction, every decision should be personal, informed, and empowering.

I created www.brcareconstruction.com to help patients better understand their options and feel more confident about the journey ahead.

A sheet of ice over Torch Lake.
A bare tree against the sky.
Everything looks still. Almost lifeless.

But not for long.

Soon, the ice will melt.
The same tree will turn green.
What looks empty now will become full of life again.

A reminder: not every silent season is the end.
Some seasons are simply preparing us for bloom.

Spring will come.
And so will your time.

DIEP flap breast reconstruction with resensation is one of the most advanced options in modern breast reconstruction.

This procedure uses your own abdominal tissue to rebuild the breast after mastectomy, while preserving the abdominal muscles. By reconnecting nerves during surgery, we can also give patients the potential to regain sensation over time.

This means:
natural tissue
no implants
muscle preservation
beautiful shape with functional restoration

Breast reconstruction is about more than appearance. It is about restoring confidence, comfort, and quality of life.

Honored to visit Washington, DC to learn more about Motiva Preserve and this thoughtful new approach to breast augmentation. What makes the Preserve concept especially exciting is its emphasis on a more refined, tissue-respecting technique that may allow for a smoother recovery experience, less disruption to the patient’s natural anatomy, and the possibility of performing breast augmentation with minimal sedation in selected patients. I always value opportunities to learn new approaches that may improve the patient experience while still maintaining safety, precision, and beautiful outcomes.

It was also wonderful to catch up with Stephen Lu, my third craniofacial microsurgery fellow. Time truly flies. It is incredibly rewarding to see how successful he has become, especially building a strong DIEP flap breast reconstruction practice in Central Pennsylvania. Seeing former fellows grow, thrive, and make a meaningful impact on patients’ lives is one of the most satisfying parts of mentorship.

Honored to visit Indiana University Plastic Surgery and reconnect with old friends. One of the highlights was seeing one of our own from OUWB School of Medicine, who has gone on to complete general surgery and plastic surgery training and is now headed to a craniofacial fellowship.
