In addition to these offerings, Dr. Ott remains dedicated to her work as a breast cancer reconstruction specialist. Some of these techniques include oncoplastic approaches to breast conservation therapies, new single staged immediate implant mastectomy reconstructions, and a full spectrum of traditional autologous breast reconstructions including free tissue transfer and DIEP flaps.
