What can be done about the breasts’ appearance after cancer?

Many women with breast cancer undergo a mastectomy – surgery performed to remove the breasts – and are left with the choice of reconstructing the appearance of their chest. That is where the skill and compassion of a plastic surgeon such as Dr. Lee can help. Our goal at PERK is to restore and rebuild your breasts.

What are the best aesthetic solutions for patients who have experienced breast cancer?

All-natural breast reconstruction

This type of breast reconstruction uses parts of the patient’s own body to create a viable breast mound. Flap reconstruction employs transplanted tissue from the belly, thigh, or back to create the shape and contour of the breast. Results both look and feel natural, and can last the rest of your life.

Implant breast reconstruction

This is the majority of breast reconstruction in the united states. Patients will elect to undergo breast reconstruction either at the same time as her mastectomy or at a later time. Implants may be either saline or silicone, and can be inserted through a variety of incision choices. The type of incision will be discussed with Dr. Lee during your consultation, based on your individual needs and goals.

“Dr. Lee is an amazing plastic surgeon. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 19, so having good-looking breasts was important. You’d never know I had surgery. She is truly amazing and I couldn’t ask for a better plastic surgeon. I was terrified coming in. Especially at such a young age. She made me feel at ease and trust that she’s doing the best for me aesthetically and medically.”
