One of the many struggles that breast cancer patients deal with is the resulting chest deformity after breast surgery. At PERK Plastic Surgery, we are passionate about helping such clients restore their confidence in the appearance of their chest following the devastating experience of breast cancer. Dr. Lee completed a fellowship in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery at Harvard Medical School and only uses the most innovative techniques available in breast reconstruction.
What are the different options for reconstruction?
Reconstruction with implants
This is the most common choice for reconstruction patients. The same incision used for a mastectomy can also be used for the insertion of implants. When possible, Dr. Lee will place the incision along the breast crease to minimize scarring on the breasts. When there is not enough skin present at the time of mastectomy, a tissue expander may be needed to stretch out the skin before placing an implant.
