What Is Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

Breast reconstruction rebuilds the shape of the breast after a mastectomy or other breast cancer treatment. Its goal is to restore a natural form and help you feel confident in your body again. At our practice, experienced, board-certified surgeons create a personal treatment plan for each patient. Your goals and preferences guide every step. We pay close attention to symmetry and balance between both breasts.

Breast Reconstruction Options

Implant-based reconstruction: A saline or silicone breast implant rebuilds the breast mound. A tissue expander may be used first to stretch the skin slowly.
Autologous (flap) reconstruction: Your surgeon uses your own tissue, often from the abdomen, back or thighs, to create a soft, natural breast.
Combination: Some patients benefit from both, such as a tissue flap that covers an implant.

Reconstruction can start at the time of mastectomy (immediate) or months or years later (delayed). Later stages may include nipple reconstruction, areola tattooing or a breast reduction or breast lift on the other side for better symmetry.

What to Expect: Procedure, Recovery and Results

Your surgeon works with your cancer care team to plan the right timing. Reconstruction is often done in more than one stage. Recovery depends on the method. Implant procedures usually heal faster than flap procedures, which involve a second surgical site. Results keep improving as swelling settles. Scar care, such as our scar reduction treatments, can help incisions fade over time.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Reconstruction?

You may be a good candidate if you have had or will have a mastectomy or lumpectomy, are healthy enough for surgery and have realistic goals. We also offer ongoing support, education and resources for the emotional side of the breast cancer journey.

Breast Reconstruction FAQs

When can I have breast reconstruction?

Many women start reconstruction during the same surgery as their mastectomy. Others wait until after chemotherapy or radiation, or choose to wait months or years. Both paths can give good results. Your surgeon and your cancer care team will help you choose the safest timing for you.

Is breast reconstruction covered by insurance?

Under the federal Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act, most group health plans that cover a mastectomy must also cover breast reconstruction. This includes surgery on the other breast for symmetry. Coverage details vary, so check your benefits with your insurance company before surgery.

How many surgeries does breast reconstruction take?

Most patients need more than one procedure. The first stage builds the breast mound with an implant, a tissue expander or your own tissue. Later stages may refine the shape, improve symmetry or rebuild the nipple and areola. Your surgeon will outline your full plan.

Which is better, implant or flap reconstruction?

Neither is right for everyone. Implant reconstruction often means a shorter surgery and recovery. Flap reconstruction uses your own tissue, so the breast can feel softer and change naturally with your weight. Your body type, cancer treatment and personal goals shape the best choice.

How long is recovery after breast reconstruction?

Recovery depends on the method. Many implant patients return to light activities within a few weeks. Flap reconstruction often takes longer because there are two surgical sites. You will avoid heavy lifting for several weeks. Your surgeon will give you a clear recovery timeline.
