Performing breast reconstruction surgery has got to be the most rewarding job as a plastic surgeon. This surgery is generally used to reconstruct a woman’s breast after breast tissue is removed because of cancer. With an array of surgery techniques it allows the surgeon to decide what method is best for each patient, these methods can include:

1. - Inserting a breast implant;
2. - Positioning of tissue expanders: This is a temporary implant, inflated over a longer period of time, stretching the skin. This is followed by inserting a permanent implant;
3. - Flaps: This involves using some tissues from areas like the abdomen or buttock. These are intense and long procedures which have greater risks such as failure or the need for undergoing multiple revisions.

Many times, reconstruction is a possibility directly after a mastectomy surgery. Having the surgery right away allows women to avoid the uncomfortable emotional state of having to see themselves without their breast. There are also a variety of techniques to reconstruct the nipple, this has the ability to give pleasing end results. Dependent upon the method and extent of the required reconstruction, more than one procedure may be necessary.

No matter your goal whether it is to correct naturally misshapen breasts, to enhance the size of the breast, to change the look of the breast after child bearing, altering the breast appearance due to age, or to improve someone’s self-esteem we will help you get your desired end results.
