The Procedure
Breast reconstruction involves rebuilding the breast mound following a mastectomy or lumpectomy, using either implants or your body’s own tissue. The timing of your surgery depends on your personal cancer treatment plan. Dr. Song and Dr. Benyamein work closely with your oncology team to strategize the optimal approach, whether it’s immediate reconstruction or a staged process. Our goal is to help you regain your natural contours and improve your quality of life.

Surgery Options
- Implant Reconstruction: Utilizes saline or silicone implants to restore the breast shape, often starting with a tissue expander. - Skin Flap Surgery: Uses your body’s tissue (commonly from the abdomen) to create a natural-feeling breast mound.
Immediate or Staged Surgery
Surgical timing is tailored to your health needs—some surgeries coincide with mastectomy, while others follow cancer treatment completion.
Nipple Reconstruction
