Breast Reconstruction

Breast cancer is on the rise and is diagnosed in more and more women every year. Thankfully, in Jacksonville, we have some of the best breast cancer physicians in the state of Florida. We understand that a diagnosis of breast cancer is a difficult burden to shoulder for both the patient and her family. We also understand that this is a difficult time and that a lot of serious decisions have to be made in a small amount of time. In addition to the vast amount of literature patients are given on breast cancer treatments, they face the difficult task of deciding on breast reconstruction.

Breast reconstruction is a general term to describe numerous techniques used by plastic surgeons to recreate a natural appearing breast in a patient who has had surgery on the breast for cancer. This could include a mastectomy, quadrantectomy or lumpectomy. While there are many options, breast implants have long been the procedure of choice for most women as they were the most straight-forward procedure. Recently, there has been increasing use of patients' own fatty tissue to create a breast mound.

Breast reconstruction is not only the surgery of the affected breast but also includes any surgery to the opposite unaffected breast to achieve symmetry. Whether it is a breast augmentation or reduction, it is not uncommon to require bilateral breast surgery to achieve a balanced result.
