Angelina Jolie's case has brought to the forefront the problem of patients with a BRCA 1 or 2 gene mutation. Find my interview in the Paris Match dated May 23, 2013 on new techniques for immediate breast reconstruction when a woman decides to remove her breasts preventively. In it, I explain the possibilities of reconstruction using only the patient's own tissues (autologous reconstruction using a DIEP flap), as well as the technique of prior insertion of an expansion prosthesis, which enables a customized reconstruction to be carried out in complete safety. Even if preventive breast removal remains a taboo subject, contested by certain teams in France who prefer reinforced surveillance, we believe that this option should be offered to patients.
