Services
Pre-Pectoral Reconstruction
Pre-pectoral breast reconstruction places implants over the pectoral muscle, avoiding long-term pain and motion deformities. This technique uses acellular dermal matrix to secure implants, offering a natural feel with faster recovery. Ideal for patients seeking immediate reconstruction without tissue expanders.
Direct-to-Implant Surgery
Direct-to-implant surgery provides immediate breast reconstruction during mastectomy, eliminating the need for tissue expanders. Combining oncoplastic techniques with implant placement, this single-stage procedure reduces surgical steps while achieving natural, symmetrical results.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting transfers harvested body fat to reconstruct or refine breast contours. This minimally invasive option repairs asymmetries, rippling, or indentations without implants, offering a natural alternative for primary or revision surgeries.
Revision Surgery
Revision surgery addresses complications from prior reconstructions, including implant malposition or capsular contracture. Using liposuction and fat transfer, we correct deformities while minimizing invasiveness, restoring comfort and aesthetics for complex cases.
Nipple-Sparing Procedures
Nipple-sparing mastectomies preserve natural anatomy for immediate reconstruction, suitable for BRCA patients or those with small tumors. This technique maintains skin and nipple integrity, enabling single-stage implant placement with optimal cosmetic outcomes.

Am I a candidate for immediate reconstruction?
Immediate reconstruction is ideal for patients undergoing mastectomy without prior radiation. Our team evaluates medical history and anatomy to determine eligibility.
How are revision surgeries approached?
Revision surgeries use minimally invasive techniques like liposuction and fat transfer to correct asymmetries, implant issues, or complications from prior procedures.
Do you treat patients with prior radiation?
Yes, we specialize in reconstructing radiated tissues using fat grafting and advanced flap techniques to restore healthy tissue and aesthetics.
What is pre-pectoral reconstruction?
This muscle-sparing technique places implants over the pectoral muscle, reducing pain and recovery time while maintaining natural breast movement.
