Breast Reconstruction with Tissue Expander - this is a process of staged surgeries where a balloon-type implant is placed under the pectoral muscle, often immediately after a mastectomy, and is slowly expanded over time in the office. A secondary surgical procedure removes the expander and replaces it with a saline or silicone breast implant. In certain circumstances, it is possible to place an implant immediately following a mastectomy.
Breast Reconstruction with Latissimus Flap - this surgery uses tissue (skin, fat, and muscle) from the back to form a reconstructed breast, and it generally requires an underlying silicone or saline implant for volume. This procedure may be performed on one or both sides.
Breast Reconstruction with TRAM Flap - this surgery uses tissue (skin, fat, and muscle) from the lower abdomen to create a reconstructed breast. This may be performed on one or both sides.
Cleft Lip & Palate - the surgical reconstruction of the lip, palate and/or nose. Helps to improve facial symmetry, speech and breathing problems due to the most common congenital birth defect.
