Breast Reconstruction

A mastectomy, which is the complete removal of the female breast, is sometimes a required treatment for breast cancer. Breast reconstruction involves procedures used to re-create a breast form and shape following mastectomy. Breast reconstruction is designed to restore the appearance of the breasts following mastectomy. At Eko Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer this procedure to the residents of Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio, Cathedral City and other surrounding cities.

FAQs

WHAT IS A BREAST RECONSTRUCTION?

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that involves the recreation of a breast form and shape, usually performed after a mastectomy for breast cancer treatment. By using a combination of advanced surgical techniques, the form, shape and appearance of the breasts is restored after mastectomy. For a majority of patients, this is a vital step in the breast cancer treatment process as it restores their sense of femininity and is an essential part of their breast cancer recovery process.

HOW MUCH DOES A BREAST RECONSTRUCTION COST?

The cost of your breast reconstruction at Eko Plastic Surgery will vary depending on the treatment plan we develop for you. During your consultation, Dr. Eko will discuss your cosmetic goals and treatment needs in order to determine the treatment approach that best suits you. That said, most breast reconstruction procedures are covered by your insurance company.

WHAT IS THE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE LIKE?

Breast reconstruction can be performed using two different techniques. The best technique for you may depend more on your breast cancer treatment, but we will help you determine the best approach to your breast reconstruction. One technique uses breast implants to restore the original form and shape of the breasts. The other technique is known as a flap procedure. During flap breast reconstruction procedures, the breast form is recreated using your own tissues. The needed tissues may be taken from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen, back, inner thighs or the buttocks. These tissues will be used to rebuild the breasts for results that look and feel like your natural breasts. In some cases, these techniques may be combined.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY LIKE AFTER A BREAST RECONSTRUCTION?

After breast reconstruction, you may experience soreness, swelling, or discomfort for up to two weeks. During this time, patients often need to take time off of work and other activities to rest. We will attach drains to the treatment areas in order to allow fluid to escape from the surgery site during the healing process. These will be removed within a few days. Most patients are able to return to normal activities within about two months of their procedure.

If you are considering a breast reconstruction procedure, contact us today to schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Eko. At Eko Plastic Surgery, we welcome patients from Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and the surrounding areas of California.
