Breast Reconstruction Before & After Photos

This 47-year-old woman was planning mastectomies and decided she wanted immediate breast reconstruction to restore her breasts. She researched her options and decided to talk with Dr. Smith about how breast reconstruction in California could allow her to avoid having to live without breasts, and even help her achieve a fuller, more feminine physique.

At the appointment, the patient shared her personal goals as well as her medical history to determine if the procedure was right for her. Dr. Smith agreed that she was an appropriate candidate, and together they talked over immediate bilateral breast construction and discussed sizing specifics for her Orange County breast implants. Since the patient desired a greater volume breast size, Dr. Smith suggested that Alloderm, a mesh that is used to create a pocket below the tissue expander, could allow more fluid to flow into the expander and decrease the amount of time for tissue expansion.

He carefully inserted tissue expanders, an unfilled saline implant pouch, and Alloderm following her mastectomies. The patient visited Dr. Smith after her surgery to have the tissue expanders filled with a saline solution, stretching her breast tissue to prepare a space for her breast implants.

Now, following her breast implant surgery, the patient is showing dramatic and noticeable improvements. Her newly reconstructed breasts are voluminous and well-balanced, reflecting her original goal for a fuller appearance. She is highly pleased with the results and happy that she chose to restore her feminine figure with breast reconstruction.
