Breast Reconstruction

Post-Mastectomy Breast Reconstruction

After mastectomy, there are two ways you can restore shape and symmetry to your body with breast reconstruction:

• Breast Reconstruction with your body's own natural tissue with procedures such as a DIEP flap
• Breast Reconstruction with breast implants

Methods that use natural tissue typically produce reconstructed breasts with the most natural look and feel possible. Furthermore, a breast reconstructed from natural tissue is yours for life, as opposed to a reconstruction using synthetic implants, which often have to be replaced over time.

Breast Reconstruction in Connecticut & New York: Our Practice

Our practice specializes in the most advanced techniques of natural-tissue breast restoration, performing reconstructions using a method known as perforator flap surgery. Perforator flaps employ sophisticated microsurgical techniques to reconstruct breasts from healthy, warm living tissue that closely resemble breasts removed by mastectomy. Perforator flap breast reconstruction procedures such as the DIEP flap replace tissue removed at mastectomy with natural tissue from your own body. These procedures allow a breast to be restored without the significant disadvantages of synthetic implants or sacrifice of important functional muscles.
