About Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction can be a great relief for our patients in Mobile, Alabama who have undergone breast removal or distortion due to breast cancer treatment or other disease. Due to new surgical techniques our surgeons have the ability to create reconstructions that look and feel like natural breasts.

Breast reconstruction at Mobile Plastic Surgery is typically performed in a hospital setting under general anesthesia. There are many different techniques: including tissue expanders, implants, and flaps (your own tissue). Thankfully the procedure has no known effect on the recurrence of cancer, and breast reconstruction can often be performed at the same time as a mastectomy or at any time there after. If an unfortunate relapse should occur and your oncologist should find that cancer has returned, your reconstruction should not pose any interference with either chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
