Dr Mickelburgh has a deep understanding of the physical and emotional toll breast cancer takes on far north Queensland women and is highly trained in all aspects of breast reconstruction. With one of seven Australian women diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, Dr Mickelburgh provides compassionate and personalised advice on surgical options. Breast reconstruction encompasses a wide range of procedures. Some women will be suitable for a reconstruction using their own tissues. Other women will be more suited to a process of tissue expansion and implant placement. Dr Mickelburgh has trained in all aspects of breast reconstruction and will discuss your reconstructive options during several consultations prior to embarking on this surgery.
