Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is generally for women who are missing, or have lost, a breast. The most common candidates for breast reconstruction surgery are women who have lost a breast due to cancer.

Time is of the essence in this procedure, and typically the process must begin shortly after receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer.

Breast reconstruction is complicated. The techniques used vary greatly among individuals. Only after a personal consultation can our doctors properly inform you about which techniques will benefit you most. However, here are some general categories of breast reconstruction techniques:

Tissue expander

A device placed under the muscle and skin. This device is gradually filled with saline, expanding this tissue where the missing breast once was. Once the correct size of the new breast is achieved, the expander is removed and a saline or gel implant is inserted.

Flap Reconstruction

In this procedure, surgeons can actually remove skin and tissue from elsewhere on your body - such as your belly or back - and re-shape that tissue into a natural-looking breast. Usually, there is no need for an implant. Flap reconstruction is as much an art as it is a science, and you want a very experienced surgeon, like those at Amin Plastic Surgery.

Our doctors will be happy to meet with you to discuss all your breast reconstruction options. If you decide to schedule surgery, your consultation fee will be subtracted from your surgical fee.
