Breast reconstruction surgery is a procedure that restores the shape and contour of the breasts after mastectomy or trauma. There are a few different techniques that can be used: implant-based reconstruction, flap reconstruction using tissue from other areas of the body, or a combination of both. Reconstruction can be immediate—performed at the same time as mastectomy—or delayed until after healing or radiation therapy is complete. The goal is to achieve symmetry, natural shape, and a breast appearance that supports both physical comfort and emotional well-being.
Breast reconstruction offers both physical and emotional benefits that impact daily life. Many patients notice that exercise, posture, and daily comfort suddenly come much more naturally. Emotionally, reconstruction supports self-esteem, confidence, and a sense of completeness after surgery, often helping women regain a feeling of normalcy and well-being.
Breast reconstruction surgery is suitable for many women who have undergone mastectomy, lumpectomy, or other breast surgeries. Patients should be in good overall health and free from active infections or uncontrolled medical conditions. Age alone is not a barrier; what matters most is your overall health and tissue availability. Reconstruction may be immediate or delayed, depending on your recovery and any additional treatments like radiation therapy.
Your consultation gives Dr. Said a chance to review your medical history, previous surgeries, and goals. You’ll receive a detailed explanation of available reconstruction techniques, including implant-based, autologous flap, or combined approaches.
You will be provided with preoperative instructions covering medications, nutrition, and necessary tests to ensure a smooth and safe procedure.
Breast reconstruction is performed by board-certified plastic surgeon D. Hakim Said. He is highly experienced in both implant-based and flap reconstruction techniques. Your procedure may involve tissue expanders, breast implants, or autologous tissue transfer to recreate a natural breast mound.
Dr. Said uses meticulous planning to ensure breast symmetry, shape, and long-term results. The surgical techniques he uses include careful placement of implants or harvested tissue, sculpting the breast for natural projection, and precise incision management to minimize scarring. Postoperative care includes monitoring, guidance for incision care, and strategies to support healing and preserve aesthetic outcomes.
Recovery time varies depending on the reconstruction method you undergo. People can notice their initial changes immediately, even with swelling gradually subsiding and final results developing over the next several months. Supportive garments are highly recommended to protect your breasts during healing.
Incision care is critical for minimizing scarring, and you will receive guidance on techniques to reduce swelling, maintain breast shape, and protect breast tissue. Many women return to light daily activities within a few weeks, though full healing may take several months. Follow-up appointments allow Dr. Said to monitor healing and make adjustments if needed, ensuring long-term satisfaction as well.
Each breast reconstruction procedure is customized, and costs vary depending on technique, materials, and any combination of procedures. Costs generally include surgical and anesthesiologist fees, facility fees, hospital care, and post-operative treatments. Dr. Said’s team provides transparent guidance to help you understand financial considerations and maximize insurance benefits.
