From DIEP Flap and TUG Flap procedures to lesser-known SHAEP and Stacked Flaps, we offer a range of natural tissue reconstruction and breast sensation restoration options. Whether you're interested in direct-to-implant or expander implant reconstruction, we are experienced in both prepectoral and subpectoral approaches. We perform a wide range of procedures, like conversion to prepectoral implants, flap revision, fat grafting, and surgery on the opposite breast, to improve your breast reconstruction. We offer surgical and non-surgical options, like 3-D tattoo, that allow our surgeons to create a natural appearing nipple as the final touch for your breast reconstruction. We help our patients understand the types of mastectomies available and how genetic information, like BRCA gene mutations, can factor into your decisions. We pioneered a unique and reliable abdominal wall reconstruction procedure to repair TRAM flap related hernias and contour deformities. We offer procedures to help prevent as well as ease lymphedema, a condition where limbs swell after lymph node removal. Radiation can be an important part of your breast cancer treatment. Learn how to coordinate it with your reconstructive timing and approach.

From Recovery to Strength: Workshop Recap
Our From Recovery to Strength: A Post-Breast Surgery Movement Workshop took place on April 16th, offering both in-person and virtual participants an educational session focused on safe, supported recovery after breast surgery or treatment. Held at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy (Full Circle Breast Cancer Recovery), the workshop was led by two physical therapists specializing in post-mastectomy care. Diana Tjaden and Abby Wolfin guided participants through how to better understand their bodies after surgery, including recognizing tightness, weakness, and swelling, and learning gentle strategies to improve comfort, mobility, and strength. The session also emphasized restoring range of motion and building confidence when returning to activity. Attendees left with practical tools and a clearer understanding of how to listen to their bodies and move forward safely in their recovery journey.

Through guided Pilates exercises in a welcoming environment, participants explored ways to safely rebuild strength, improve mobility, and reconnect with their bodies during recovery. More than just movement, the event fostered encouragement, confidence, and community among those navigating the healing journey together. We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this special experience so meaningful.

Walk and Talk Event on April 11
The most beautiful sunny day with the bluest and clearest sky…today we held our very first Team Resilience Walk & Talk—and what a beautiful way to start! We soaked in the sunshine, moved our bodies, shared meaningful conversations, and slowed down just enough to reconnect…with each other and ourselves. From steps on the path to coffee and conversation, today was a reminder that resilience isn’t built alone—it’s nurtured in community, in fresh air, in movement, and in moments like these. This is just the beginning of something powerful. Here’s to growing stronger, healthier, and more connected—together.
