Breast Reconstruction
If you have lost a breast to cancer or another condition, breast reconstruction surgery can be a physically and emotionally rewarding procedure. Board-certified plastic surgeon Louis Bucky, MD will create the new breast, dramatically improving your personal confidence and self-image.
Your Individual Goals
Dr. Bucky will discuss your breast reconstruction surgery goals with you realistically. Together you will decide which procedures Dr. Bucky will perform to achieve your desired results. You will set a date for surgery and be given instructions about how to prepare. You will also schedule a pre-operative appointment to review your medical history, to take pre-operative photographs, and to be dimensionally fitted with tissue expander implants.
Breast Reconstruction Procedure Details
If you have previously received a mastectomy or radiation therapy, there may not be a sufficient amount of breast tissue to cover or support a breast implant. For this reason, Dr. Bucky typically utilizes tissue expansion techniques to ensure the breast implant is fully accommodated within your breast tissue. Additionally, Dr. Bucky utilizes new technology combining your own fat and a EVEBRA® suction device to improve soft tissue coverage when applicable.
Should tissue expansion be your course of action, during office visits, Dr. Bucky’s tissue expansion technique stretches your healthy skin to provide coverage for a breast implant over the course of several months. Dr. Bucky utilizes both round silicone implants and shaped cohesive silicone implants for your breast reconstruction procedure.
Your breast reconstruction procedure will be performed under general anesthesia administered by a board-certified Anesthesiologist and a board-certified Nurse Anesthetist. Dr. Bucky has worked with his operating team for over 16 years.
Recovery from Breast Reconstruction
By following the post-operative care program customized for you by Dr. Bucky and our team, you can typically expect a relatively rapid recovery rate after your breast reconstruction surgery. You will have access to an optional vitamin regimen, a personal nurse, and Dr. Bucky’s nurses will check on you after your surgery. Dr. Bucky also works closely with an on-site lymphatic massage therapist, and has relationships with local physical therapists to supervise an exercise protocol developed specifically for you.
