Surgical Techniques
If you are facing mastectomy, you have many important decisions to make. One of the most significant decisions is whether or not to have your breasts reconstructed. Dr. Andrew Smith's goal for his breast reconstruction patients in Orange County is to create results that look and feel as much like a natural breast as possible. After mastectomy, it can be mentally healing to enhance your self-image and sense of femininity through this commonly chosen procedure.
Breast Reconstruction Techniques in Orange County - Your Options
Dr. Smith offers the following surgical techniques for breast reconstruction:
- Tissue Expansion: The most popular breast reconstruction technique for Dr Smith's Orange County patients, this technique recreates the breast with a breast implant.
- Flap Surgery: This technique involves reconstructing the breast using your own living tissue transplanted from another area of the body.
- Nipple & Areola Reconstruction: Because the nipple and areola are usually removed during mastectomy, many patients choose to have them reconstructed as well.
