Reconstruction of a breast that has been removed due to cancer or other disease is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures available. New medical techniques and devices have made it possible for surgeons to create a breast that can come close in form and appearance to matching a natural breast.

Frequently, reconstruction is possible immediately following breast removal (mastectomy), so ideally, you'll want your breast surgeon and Dr. Aronowitz to work together to develop a strategy that will put you in the best possible condition for reconstruction.

The Breast Reconstruction Procedure

While there are many options available in post-mastectomy reconstruction. When you come in for a consultation, you and Dr. Aronowitz can discuss the one that's best for you.

Recovery from Breast Reconstruction

You are likely to feel tired and sore for a week or two after reconstruction. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by medication prescribed by Dr. Aronowitz.

Breast reconstruction following mastectomy is typically covered by insurance.

The specific risks and the suitability of breast reconstruction can be determined only during your consultation with Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Aronowitz. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk, but major complications are unusual.
