Breast Reconstruction Using Implants

Implant reconstruction restores volume and shape to the breasts by using saline or silicone implants. Implants can sometimes be done in a one step procedure but may require two or more phases of reconstruction.

LEARN MORE
Hybrid Breast Reconstruction

Hybrid reconstruction uses natural tissue in combination with a small implant and/or acellular dermal matrix (ADM) to rebuild the breasts. It’s often used for women who have less natural tissue available for reconstruction.

DAPHNE’S STORY

You don’t realize breasts mean so much to you until you don’t have them. Once I got them back … I couldn’t believe I lived so long without them.

Dr. Smith did that for me. He can make anyone happy.

EVLYN’S STORY

Dr. Smith did a perfect job. When I went to the oncologist, she said, “What a wonderful job. You look so natural.”

And that’s what I needed to hear. It was perfect. I said, “Yes, Dr. Smith did it.” He did exactly what I hoped.
