In many cases, breast reconstruction can be done immediately as part of a mastectomy. Or it can be done later, even years later. Timing depends on various factors, including whether you need radiation and if you have underlying medical issues. Your physician can offer further guidance based on your individual circumstances.
Using your own tissue for breast reconstruction provides the most natural look and feel of any type of breast reconstructive surgery. Your body shape and anatomy may affect the types of breast reconstruction likely to give you the best results.
Dr. Smith will collaborate with your care team, which may include your breast surgeon, oncologist, physical therapist, and other specialists, to deliver a comprehensive treatment program. Whether managing scheduling or determining the optimal time for surgery, we ensure that you receive seamless, coordinated care from start to finish.
