Breast Reconstruction Gallery

Many women are choosing to go flat after breast cancer surgery. Some women choose to do this immediately after mastectomy (aka “aesthetic flat closure”) and others are dissatisfied with their reconstruction and choose this option later. This particular patient underwent reconstruction with implants and a right-sided latissimus flap (tissue transfer from the back) and went on to develop painful capsular contracture on the right side. She wanted to feel more
comfortable and chose to have an implant removal with flat closure. She is shown here 3 months after surgery.

This 63-year-old patient had a right mastectomy with a latissimus dorsi flap and implant placement, many years ago. Her shape had deteriorated over time, so she had a revision that involved replacing her implant with a newer dimension of implant and smoothing of the result with fat grafting.

This patient had a BRCA mutation and chose to have a prophylactic mastectomy due to her high risk of breast cancer. She is shown pre-op and after nipple-sparing, direct-to-implant reconstruction.

This woman had a bilateral nipple-sparing mastectomy for breast cancer and BRCA mutation, with direct-to-implant reconstruction. Over time, her breast shape deteriorated and she wanted to exchange her textured implants for smooth. She is seen pre-op and one year post-op with smooth implants in place.

This young patient had breast cancer and carried a BRCA mutation. She had bilateral mastectomy and pre-pectoral direct-to-implant reconstruction with silicone gel implants and Alloderm. She is shown 5 months post-op, after a single-stage surgery.

Not all breast reconstruction involves changes to the cancer side. This woman had severe shrinkage on her left breast after lumpectomy and radiation. After a balancing breast reduction on the opposite side, she had much better symmetry and is more comfortable.

This thin patient had 300 cc implants partially under the muscle.
