Breast Reconstruction

The advances in breast reconstruction offer women undergoing mastectomy the opportunity to achieve a breast that restores a woman's original body image. Experienced reconstructive surgeons employ principles of cosmetic surgery in the design of the mastectomy as well as in the reconstructive process. Women are able to enjoy a reconstructed breast that has less scarring and feels more natural.

There have never been as many options available for women seeking breast reconstruction following mastectomy as there are today. Women with a diagnosis of breast cancer should look forward to the prospects of reconstruction to help them resume a normal life. There is more than one choice. In some cases we are able to reconnect nerves to help reestablish sensation. This is being performed more frequently in Europe and Japan. In our practice we do not have one procedure for each patient. Rather we listen to your priorities, limitations, and concerns to design a reconstruction that is suitable for your lifestyle.

The two main categories of breast reconstruction are prosthetic implants and autogenous - using a woman's own tissue.

Dr. Rosenbaum incorporates cosmetic principles when performing breast reconstruction. The majority of the reconstructions are performed as skin sparring mastectomies. Dr. Rosenbaum travels frequently to study new techniques as well as teach surgical methods to other doctors. As one of the few surgeons in the country to perform the DIEP flap Dr. Rosenbaum is able to offer a woman a natural reconstruction that is the latest and most up to date method in breast reconstruction. We look forward to any questions you may have and to assist you in your decision for reconstruction.
