Some women who have undergone mastectomy and even prior reconstruction are sometimes left with highly visible scars.
All surgeries leave scars. But in many cases, the appearance of scars from mastectomy or breast reconstruction procedures can be reduced.
Each time a surgical cut is made on the body, a scar will result. Plastic surgeons are specially trained to minimize the appearance of scarring on the body. However, areas of delayed healing or tissue loss due to poor blood supply as well as your own body’s healing tendencies, may result in a more visible scar. Dr. Smith can assess your scars and discuss with you if there are ways to improve their appearance.
Scar revision is usually an outpatient procedure that is fairly quick and requires minimal recovery. It is not typically performed for several months after all reconstruction procedures are complete.
Scar revision is usually covered by insurance if it is part of breast reconstruction.
I didn’t have to take any pain medicine. It was just amazing. . . I had this major surgery and was home the next day.
I would 100% recommend Dr. Smith and just say there isn’t a better doctor out there for this.
I'm astonished. I am amazed at how Dr. Smith was able to create another breast for me from nothing.
Dr. Smith is the happy ending to this story. Everyone that I spoke to about him said, ‘you're in great hands.’
I can't believe I didn't feel any pain. I didn't really need any painkillers. Not at all.
He will always give you his best. He will help you to feel whole again. He will help you to feel like the person you were before.
I can tell you now 1,000% that I made the right decision...the way that they look, you cannot even see a scar.
I felt like this doctor is something. He has a good heart. He’s very gentle and very nice.
And I just knew how thorough he was, that he was prepared, that he was well informed, and that he knew his craft
Dr. Smith was very, very nice and friendly. He was very down to earth compared to some doctors. He's knowledgeable, of course. His credentials definitely spoke volumes.
He's even more impressive than I had first thought. He is very direct and he's smart. And he will explain things to you.
It's very important to me to have good bedside manner. And [Dr. Smith] took the time. He made me feel like he could do this 1-2-3, and I'd be good to go.
