Losing a breast is a difficult experience, but it does not have to be permanent. Reconstruction of a breast that has been removed due to cancer or other disease is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures available today and may provide a way to restore your look, your sense of self, and help you regain confidence in your body.

Breast Reconstruction Benefits

  • Maintain a natural appearing breast despite mastectomy via immediate breast reconstruction
  • Restore a natural look and feel to breasts removed due to cancer (or disease in general) or damaged by radiation or injury.
  • Reshape breasts that have an abnormal or unflattering shape due to genetics
  • Enhance confidence in your appearance, your body, and your self esteem

Breast Reconstruction Initial Consultation

During your consultation for breast reconstruction, Dr. Chacon will provide a personalized understanding of your unique situation, medical treatment needs, and personal desires. A natural look and feel is absolutely essential for good results, and as such, Dr. Chacon designs each procedure to ensure that your new shape will not only look and feel very natural, but also meet the goals that are most important to you personally.

Breast reconstruction can be immediate (if performed at the same time as the mastectomy), or can be delayed if performed weeks, months, or years following mastectomy or revision. Breast reconstruction may also correct or improve another surgeon’s result, which developed problems or did not meet expectations. Dr. Chacon carefully analyzes every individual patient’s unique history, including her type of cancer, “pre-cancer,” or other disease, as well as current breast size and shape, lifestyle, and desires before making a recommending a specific type and technique of breast reconstruction.

Breast Reconstruction Surgery and Results

Before your breast reconstruction procedure, Dr. Chacon will meet with for an initial and follow-up consultation to review your goals and make any necessary adjustments to your procedure plan. Breast reconstruction is performed with the help of a highly trained surgical team to ensure a safe, accurate procedure and appropriate pre- and postsurgical care.

Surgery typically takes two to three hours, though some approaches often require more time. Scarring is typically very minimal, and patients may get back to work and light exercise within two to four weeks of surgery.
