Raleigh Breast Reconstruction Surgery

What is Breast Reconstruction?

Breast augmentation after a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or other trauma to the breast restores the shape, look, and feel of breasts, aiding the healing process for many women. Dr. Ortiz will determine the breast reconstruction plan that is best for you by discussing your expectations and examining the amount of breast tissue that was removed during your initial surgery, your overall health, and other risk factors. Breast reconstruction methods vary but for patients that have had full mastectomies, the breast is rebuilt using an artificial implant. Patients that have had partial mastectomies, or lumpectomies, typically have their breasts rebuilt using tissue taken from other parts of the body. Many times, these techniques may be combined based on the patient’s case. Breast reconstruction can be performed shortly after your mastectomy or lumpectomy, in which case Dr. Ortiz will discuss your options with your surgeon. A breast reconstruction may also be performed weeks, months, or years later with no complications.
