Have you ever wondered why someone would choose the specialty of microsurgery? It takes years of dedicated training after medical school. Microsurgery restores form and function due to damage or loss of body part after an accident or disease.

Our guest on this episode of the DiepCJourney podcast is Dr. Brian Bradow. He is a reconstructive plastic surgeon who practices in Colorado. Brian chats about his early interest in surgery as a young boy. He talks about the rigors of his profession and the importance of work-life balance.

Brian discusses his work with breast cancer patients and restoring the nipple/areola area in a procedure called, "nipple sharing" in breast reconstruction. I connected with Brian on LinkedIn. You can find his LinkedIn account here.
