Description

Getting breast cancer in her 30s took her through one of the hardest chapters of her life.  She underwent bilateral nipple-sparing mastectomies followed by a two-stage reconstruction. At the time of her mastectomy, tissue expanders were placed to preserve her skin envelope and shape. A few weeks later, we returned to the OR to exchange them for her definitive silicone implants.

 Her mastectomy scars were carefully hidden within the natural fold of the breasts and are now barely noticeable. Today, she has a soft, natural result that resembles a beautiful breast augmentation — but more importantly, she has closure, confidence, and a sense of wholeness again. Plastic surgery and breast reconstruction are often the light at the end of the tunnel.
