What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast reconstruction refers to any surgical procedure aimed at recreating the breast mound after a mastectomy or lumpectomy, cancer-related treatments, trauma, or even congenital disorders. The process restores the breasts’ shape, size, and contours, and if required, can include additional procedures on the other breast to improve symmetry. Options include breast augmentation, breast reduction, or breast lift.
Dr. de la Pedraja can achieve breast mound recreation by placing a tissue expander and implant or by using your natural tissue during a process referred to as autologous reconstruction.
Breast reconstruction can occur alongside cancer treatment or whenever you feel it is more appropriate. During consultations, Dr. de la Pedraja will discuss all the options for breast reconstruction to help patients determine the best procedure and timing based on your particular situation, reconstructive goals and anatomy.
Dr. de la Pedraja offers different surgical methods to treat the nipples, including correcting inverted nipples after trauma or cancer treatment.
