Reasons for Considering Breast Reconstruction
  • Regain original breast shape
  • Restores the shape and form of the breasts, including the nipples
  • Avoids the use of breast prosthetics and allows for a natural appearance in clothing
  • Improves symmetry between breasts following partial mastectomy

About The Procedure

Women diagnosed with breast cancer and facing a mastectomy often have the choice of undergoing immediate or delayed reconstruction. Immediate reconstruction involves performing it at the same time as the mastectomy, whereas delayed reconstructions are considered after the initial surgery.

The more traditional reconstruction procedure involves placing a tissue expander under the chest skin to gradually stretch the area by injecting water until it reaches the desired size. The expander is usually maintained in place for about three months. Once the desired size is achieved, a second operation is performed to remove the expander and replace it with a softer, more natural silicone gel breast implant. In addition, it is common to lift, reduce or place an implant in the opposite breast to achieve symmetry.

Other forms of reconstruction using the patient's tummy or back tissue are available. During your initial consultation, we will assess your personal needs and goals to ensure optimal results.


The Recovery Process
Post-operative instructions will vary depending on the type of reconstruction performed. In all cases, please take into account that downtime should be expected. Recovery time can go from less than a week with implant-based reconstruction to over two weeks in patients who undergo tissue-based reconstruction. Additionally, please note that:
  • Pain following reconstruction depends on the type of procedure performed.
  • A pain management regimen will be provided after surgery to make the recovery process as comfortable as possible.
  • Reconstruction may involve two to three procedures and the interval between them will be determined by Dr. Andochick on an individual basis.

    I am very pleased with the results. I feel more confident and comfortable with my appearance. I wish that I hadn’t waited to long to do something about the parts of my appearance that I was left conscious about.

    I had such an amazing experience. The staff was wonderful and made me feel so comfortable before my procedure. They answered all my questions. The Dr was the best I have ever experienced. Great bed side manners and explained the whole treatment to me throughly. If I could I would do it all over again.

    compassionate, professional, and kind. everyone at dr. andochick’s office is amazing, including the dr. himself, who makes you feel comfortable and safe, and talks to you like an old friend. for something as invasive and scary as surgery can be, i wouldn’t want to go to anyone else.
