Your Reconstruction Journey
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a candidate for breast reconstruction if you:
- Are planning or have undergone mastectomy/lumpectomy

- Want to restore body image and confidence
- Are in good general health for surgery
There is no time limit on reconstruction — many women wait months or years before proceeding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is reconstruction covered by insurance?
In many cases, yes — especially if part of post-cancer surgery. Our team will help verify your coverage and assist with the approval process.
Can I choose to delay reconstruction?
Yes. Many women wait months or even years before choosing to proceed. There is no time limit, and delaying allows you to focus on cancer treatment first.
Will the reconstructed breast feel the same?
While it won't have full sensation like a natural breast, modern techniques provide excellent softness and realism. Some sensation may return over time.
How many surgeries are required?
This depends on the technique chosen. Implant reconstruction may require 2-3 procedures, while some flap techniques can be completed in one surgery. Nipple reconstruction is optional and done later.
