Breast Reconstruction
Case 1 – Breast Reconstruction
This 34 year woman was found to have a gene that causes breast cancer (BRCA.) Due to a very high risk of developing breast cancer, she elected to have both breasts re-moved with simultaneous latissimus flaps and tissue expanders. At a second stage, she had silicone implants placed and had nipple areolar reconstruction.
Case 2 – Breast Reconstruction
52 year old female with right breast cancer who had a right mastectomy with simultane-ous latissimus flap and tissue expander placement. At a second stage, she had a per-manent silicone implant placed on the right, a nipple reconstruction on the right, and a breast augmentation on the left for symmetry.
Case 3 – Breast Reconstruction
This 46 year old female with left breast cancer and underwent a left mastectomy with simultaneous latissimus flap and tissue expander placement. At a second stage, she had a permanent silicone implant placed on the left, and a nipple reconstruction on the left. To achieve symmetry, also had an augmentation and a breast lift on the right side at the same time.
Case 4 – Breast Reconstruction
This 55 year old female with right breast cancer who had a right mastectomy with simul-taneous latissimus flap and tissue expander placement. At a second stage, she had a permanent silicone implant placed on the right, a nipple reconstruction on the right, and a breast augmentation on the left for symmetry.
Case 5 – Breast Reconstruction
This 69 year old woman was dissatisfied with her breast reconstruction done elsewhere because she felt she was asymmetric and too large on the left side. The 800 cc implant was replaced with a 575 cc implant, giving her better symmetry. On the right side, her high profile 400 cc implant was replaced with a moderate profile implant.
Case 6 – Breast Reconstruction
This 48 year-old woman was 5’5″, 170 pounds,and had a small right breast cancer in the setting of breast hypertrophy. In order to preserve her breasts, treat her cancer and reduce her breast size, she underwent a right partial mastectomy and reconstruction using “oncoplastic” techniques in a breast reduction pattern. Her treatment was completed with radiation therapy to the right breast.
Case 7 – Breast Reconstruction
This 52 year old underwent a mastectomy and a reconstruction with a latissimus flap and a tissue expander on her right side. At a second stage, she had permanents implant placed on both sides for symmetry and a nipple reconstruction.
