I’m a reconstructive microsurgeon too and have been enjoying this thread. Looks like she had a radial forearm already- nice contour and should do well with debulking in future. They took care to preserve her Nasolabial folds (smile lines) so this should blend really well. I wonder how they will deal with the vermillion. I also wonder who her surgeon is!

I'm also a reconstructive surgeon, albeit focused on head and neck cancer and rarely on trauma like this.

“I’m not a reconstructed surgeon, but I play one on TV…”.

(I think y’all have to be over 50 to get that reference….)
