Breast Reconstruction

Serving Houston, Pearland, Sugarland and Friendswood

Every year, over 200,000 women in the United States fight the battle against breast cancer. Mastectomies and lumpectomies are life-saving surgeries designed to remove cancer and other diseases from the breast region. While they have been proven effective for removing life-threatening diseases, mastectomies remove the majority of the breast, leaving many women feeling incomplete. Breast reconstruction helps women all over the world regain their self-esteem and sense of well being by giving them back the natural shape of their bodies.

Breast reconstruction surgery works to build up the breast to its original size and restore the contour of the breast both in and out of clothes. If you have had a mastectomy on one breast, breast reconstruction can also balance the size of your original breast with the restored breast. The procedure can also be performed on both breasts for those who have had a double mastectomy.

In addition to increasing the breast size, you can also have your nipple and areola reconstructed, generally after the initial breast reconstruction surgery has had time to heal.
