Hearing that you need a major surgery with a free flap reconstruction can be overwhelming, especially if you have never heard of a free flap before. MyFreeFlap was designed to provide patients with information and visual aids about this reconstructive option in a simple format. We hope to instill peace of mind through understanding prior to your surgery. We will walk you through what a free flap is, why it is needed, what to expect during surgery, and what recovery looks like afterwards—one step at a time.
