For Practitioners

Are you a board-certified plastic surgeon or other relevant medical practitioner who is interested in contributing to our work? We are actively seeking qualified contributors and collaborators as we build content for patients and surgeons. There are multiple ways to get involved, with flexible commitments available.

Sign-up below to learn about patient-facing content initiatives, our in-progress Medical Advisory Committee, and forthcoming Surgeon’s Corner, a technical breast reconstruction hub for surgeons, by surgeons. Patient-facing content ranges from site page review to case submission to social media collaboration, with opportunities for potential post authorship. Surgeon-facing content is set to include intraoperative videos, pearls of surgical wisdom, surgeon routables, and other opportunities that put provers in conversation.

Current Opportunities:

We are actively seeking submissions for our unique, Step-by-Step Visual Timeline Section, created in collaboration with the Plastic Surgery Foundation.

N.B. All content contributions are subject to board approval.

About Cross-Practitioner Education:

Cross-Practitioner Education aims to improve patient outcomes and care continuity by educating practitioners in adjacent specialties about breast reconstruction options. Many patients are not informed of their breast reconstruction choices at the time of diagnosis, which can negatively affect their treatment journey. This program is designed to close that knowledge gap by offering provider-focused presentations and patient-facing educational materials.

The presentation will be live and done via Zoom.

If you are interested in having your practice participate in this program, please email contact@breastreconstruction.org.

The session focuses on the evolving role of pre-pectoral conversion in breast reconstruction, examining not only successes but also complications, failures, and hard-earned lessons. This program is designed as an open, surgeon-driven forum that values transparency, nuance, and real-world experience.

Participants explore the indications, benefits, and limitations of pre-pectoral conversion. Watch the recorded discussion to learn from real-world cases that illustrate both favorable and challenging outcomes, gain insight into complication management, patient selection, and technical decision-making, from national, peer-to-peer discussion with experienced reconstructive surgeons.

The program was delivered as a live webinar hosted on the Evergen platform. Additional opportunities to join live discussions will arise on an ongoing basis.

Venous Thromboembolism in Plastic Surgery Patients

This journal club brings together leading perspectives in plastic surgery as Dr. Ron Israeli and Dr. Christopher J. Pannucci discuss the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery article, “Venous Thromboembolism in Plastic Surgery Patients” published in March 2026. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the plastic surgery population, emphasizing how surgeons can evaluate and manage perioperative risk through a framework of risk identification, risk modification, and risk reduction. It also highlights the continued relevance of validated tools such as the 2005 Caprini score to guide individualized VTE risk assessment and prevention strategies in surgical patients. Through this discussion, Drs. Israeli and Pannucci explore the clinical implications of the article’s findings and how evolving evidence can inform safer perioperative decision-making focusing on patients undergoing breast reconstruction.in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
