"The results were something I never would have imagined."

Silvana first visited Dr. Lerman when she needed to have a breast implant replaced. Dr. Lerman suggested DIEP Flap reconstruction, which uses the patient's own natural tissue, rather than placing a new implant. Silvana says the results are better than she ever imagined, and she now regularly speaks to Dr. Lerman's prospective DIEP flap patients about her own positive experience.
