Reviews
I had breast reduction surgery 10 years ago, and I am just as satisfied today as I was 10 years ago. I highly recommend Dr.P. and and have absolute confidence in any procedure that he does. Also his staff is very accommodating and friendly. I am planning to have more procedures in the near future as Covid mandates allow.

How is Breast Reconstruction Performed?
Breast reconstruction is done by making multiple incisions along the breast. In cases where an implant must be placed, skin is first expanded, and the implant is placed. It is gradually inflated with saline over a period of a few weeks to stretch the skin. This expander is then replaced with an implant in a second surgery. Another method of breast reconstruction, called flap reconstruction, uses tissue from another region of the body like the abdomen, back, or buttocks, which is then tunneled under the skin or transplanted to the chest. It typically takes two to three hours and is done under general anesthesia.
What is Recovery Like After Breast Reconstruction?
Breast reconstruction has similar recovery to other breast surgical procedures like breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lift. Most patients are able to return to work after a week or two. Lifting anything overhead is prohibited along with strenuous physical activity or exercise.
How Long Will My Breast Reconstruction Results Last?
Breast reconstruction results last for many years and can last for a lifetime. In some cases, other procedures might be recommended. Discuss what is recommended specifically for you during your consultation.
