People have asked me, “Where’s the AMA? The plastic surgery societies? The Texas medical societies? The government?” The truth? They’ve known what’s going on for a long time and they haven’t stepped up to help. They have blamed this on being an individual issue, but when patients can’t get the care they need, we all know that’s not the case. So I’m not waiting on organizations that won’t get in the fight when it matters most. That’s why I started this GoFundMe, because together we’re funding som

I’m operating at @redbudsurgerycenter this morning and wanted to talk about aesthetic flat closure. What it is, why it matters, and why we’re fighting to protect it. Today I revised a patient who previously had mastectomies where the incisions were simply closed. She wanted a smooth, flat chest contour, something she could wear a prosthetic with and feel confident wearing a fitted shirt without lumps or irregularities, That requires time, skill, and reconstruction beyond just closing the patient

Today I’m sharing an update about a patient many of you remember — the woman who drove hours across Texas after her radiated implants became infected and no one near her would take her insurance.We removed her infected implants to protect her health. It was urgent. It was necessary. It was absolutely medically indicated. And yet… her insurance company sent her a letter denying the surgery, claiming it was not medically necessary.This is the reality too many women face after breast cancer: fighti

A doctor asked why I don’t just do cosmetic surgery or other profitable procedures instead of asking for help through GoFundMe? Because my dream isn’t to make money. My dream is to provide excellent care for people affected by breast cancer and to change healthcare for the better. The answer isn’t to change my dream. It’s to figure out how to make it possible. | Dr. Elisabeth Potter, MD

Last week, I had a patient scheduled to get her implants placed after mastectomy and tissue expanders. She wanted her surgery done at my outpatient center—Redbud Surgery Center—because we prioritize doing what’s best for people affected by breast cancer. But her insurance denied the surgical materials I recommended. They didn’t just deny them—they told me what I had to use instead. The problem? They’re completely different products. One dissolves naturally over time. The other is made from human
