Breast reconstruction rebuilds the shape, volume, and appearance of the breast following mastectomy, lumpectomy, trauma, or congenital differences. Dr. Fabio offers both implant-based reconstruction and autologous (your own tissue) techniques, often coordinated in stages with your oncology team to fit your treatment timeline and long-term goals.
Patient Gallery
This patient, after removal of an infected implant, underwent right breast reconstruction following 3 months of treatment, along with bilateral reconstruction using new implants
What This Procedure Can Address
- Implant-based reconstruction, immediate or delayed
- Autologous (flap) reconstruction using your own tissue
- Nipple-areola reconstruction and fat grafting for refinement
- Symmetry procedures on the opposite breast when appropriate
- Close coordination with your oncologic or referring physician
Technique & Recovery
Because every mastectomy and treatment plan is different, reconstruction is scheduled in close coordination with your oncologic surgeon: sometimes immediately following mastectomy, sometimes delayed until other treatment concludes. Implant-based reconstruction may involve a staged tissue expander process over several months, while autologous techniques using your own tissue typically require a single longer surgery with a more involved initial recovery. Dr. Fabio walks through both paths in detail during consultation so you can choose what fits your treatment timeline.
