Breast Reconstruction Techniques

There are a variety of breast reconstruction techniques that can be customized to your unique physical needs. Tissue expansion breast reconstruction involves the use of a small balloon to expand the remaining skin in the breast area, ultimately forming a new breast mound. This technique can also be used to make room for a breast implant. There is also what’s known as Flap Surgery reconstructions which create a new breast mound by moving excess skin and fat from one area of the body – such as the back, buttocks, abdomen, or thighs – to the breast area. Once the new breast mound has been created and shaped, nipple reconstruction can be performed. Correcting significant breast asymmetry may require breast lifts, reducing breast volume, inserting an implant, or the use of a combination of these techniques.

Every patient is unique, and your needs and goals will help Dr. Yarinsky determine which breast reconstruction option may be right for you. Dr. Yarinsky will explain all aspects of various breast reconstruction techniques at your initial consultation, and answer any questions you may have.
