I had an appointment with Dr. Hofer, the new PS who took over from Dr. Lipa.  He seemed very nice and professional, is recommending a lat. dorsi w/implant for me. 

Has anyone actually had any reconstructive surgery, in particular the lat. dorsi. performed by him? 

Thanks

I have recently had reconstruction surgery and although lat d was one of my options, I opted for pedicle tram so I cannot assist you with this, however, I do know that there is extensive discussion on on the Reconstruction thread about ladies opting for, scheduled for, and have had the lat D.
