Dr Ginger Slack

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at UCLA

Dr. Slack's areas of clinical expertise include: breast reconstruction (offering implant-based, tissue-based, and microsurgical breast reconstruction procedures, including DIEP, TRAM, and Latissimus flaps), general oncologic or traumatic reconstruction, and gender affirming breast surgery. She also offers aesthetic surgery of the face, breast, and body (such as breast augmentation, lift, reduction, liposuction, abdominoplasty, labiaplasty, facelift, browlift, blepharoplasty and cosmetic injectables such as botox and filler).

Ever wonder what happens if you lose weight after DIEP flap?

My amazing patient had a DIEP flap years ago and came back after a signficant GLP1 related weight loss for a quick revision to tighten up her breast skin-- just as after one loses weight with a natural breast, a DIEP can get deflated with greater than 15 lb weight loss . We refined her result and now she feels great. ✨
It’s such a privilege to be part of these ongoing chapters, creating results that grow and change right alongside each patient. 💕

Every journey is different — every choice is valid. 💗
Flat closure, tissue (DIEP), or implant reconstruction (seen as you swipe through)— it’s about what feels right for you.
The long-term relationships I build with my patients through these moments are truly one of my favorite parts of being a plastic surgeon. ✨

There’s something powerful about being a woman caring for other women—sometimes we just know without anything needing to be said. That perspective shapes the way I approach surgery: with empathy, precision, and a deep respect for each patient's journey back to feeling whole. It’s a privilege to do this work.

Be it the beaches, the parks, or just down the hall in Dad's shoes, our little girl is tearing it up!!! Being her mama is my greatest joy.

Breast reconstruction is often a multi-stage process, typically completed over 2–3 surgeries. This patient came to Dr. Slack for a revision after her initial reconstruction with tissue expanders performed at an outside practice. We exchanged the expanders for DIEP flaps, resulting in a softer, more natural appearance with smooth contours and no implants. Another benefit was the improved abdominal contour as you can see on the second lateral view.

Revision surgery is an option—for comfort, aesthetics, or both. Every step is about restoring confidence and feeling whole again.

Wild to stand in front of this building (Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital Center) and think about how much has changed over the years—so many milestones, lessons, and memories within these walls. Just like this place, I’ve gotten a little older, wiser, and definitely more grateful for the journey.

Swipe for baby Dr Slack over a decade and a half ago just starting the journey!

Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting, Before ➡️ After | She chose saline implants in a dual plane position with fat grafting. Why fat grafting? While implants provide volume and projection, fat grafting helps smooth transitions, enhance cleavage, and add subtle fullness to the upper pole—especially in thinner patients or those with asymmetries. It's a powerful tool for creating softer, more natural-looking contours.

This transformation is about so much more than what meets the eye.

This remarkable woman faced a breast cancer diagnosis while undergoing a major weight loss journey—two life-altering challenges that she approached with grit, grace, and a sense of humor that brightened every room she walked into.

Her before and after photos show a striking physical change, but they don’t capture the full story of her resilience, her kindness, or the countless moments of laughter we shared along the way.

Because of the complexity of her case—addressing changes from both cancer treatment and massive weight loss—her reconstruction was staged over time. These types of operations require thoughtful sequencing to achieve the best functional and aesthetic outcomes. But they also allow something else to develop: trust. Over time, the surgical plan evolves, and so does the relationship between patient and surgeon.

It’s been a privilege to care for her—not just as a physician, but as a witness to her strength, humor, and transformation-- She looks STUNNING!

In breast reduction surgery, one of the often-overlooked benefits is the visual elongation of the torso. In this case, the patient’s mole (circled in yellow) remained in the same position, but after repositioning and reshaping the breast mound, you can clearly see how much higher the breast sits in relation to it.

By elevating the breast off the upper abdomen and restoring proportion, we create the appearance of a longer, more balanced torso.

This highlights how breast reduction is not just about volume removal—it’s also about recontouring the body and improving posture, symmetry, and proportions.

Like this post if you enjoyed seeing this before-and-after comparison and how subtle anatomical landmarks can tell a compelling story of change.
