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. For men facing mastectomy, we offer a variety of procedures including natural tissue flaps, fat grafting, and nipple reconstruction.
