Breast Reconstruction (Implants)
Patient #865
This 47-year-old BRCA1+ woman is shown 1 year after risk reducing double mastetcomy and two stage breast reconstruction with Dr. John Layliev in Long Island, NY. During the first stage reconstruction immediately after mastetcomies, temporary impants (tissue expanders) were placed. The expanders were filled over a couple of months time in the office to the patient’s desired new breast volume. During her second and final stage reconstruction, the temporary expanders were replaced with permanent 365cc high profile smooth silicone breast implants and fat, which was liposuctioned from her hip rolls and thighs, was purified and grafted into the breast skin envelopes to produce a more natural result. Her mastectomy and reconstruction incision was designed to be in her natural breast crease, completely hidden, making this reconstruction look like a cosmetic breast augmentation.
