Breast Reconstruction (Implants)
Patient #1190
This 29-year-old woman breast cancer survivor is shown 8 months after mastectomy and reconstruction. Her first stage reconstruction, immediately following her bilateral mastectomy, involved a specialized type of breast lift as well as tissue expanders. Her second stage reconstruction involved swapping out tissue expanders for permanent breast implants as well as abdominal liposuction for fat harvesting which was used to fat graft the breast skin envelopes to allow for more natural breast contours and transitions. She is cancer free and is so happy with her results. She is now due for her final stage nipple and areola reconstruction in the coming months.
