Losing breasts due to cancer or trauma is a profound and life-altering experience. Beyond the physical changes, it carries emotional weight, serving as a constant reminder of the challenging journey. For many women, the decision to undergo breast reconstruction plastic surgery is deeply personal. Choosing the right surgeon to perform this surgical breast procedure is crucial. Dr. Aleksandr Shteynberg, a double board-certified plastic surgeon at Vantage Plastic Surgery in NYC, brings extensive experience to breast reconstruction, offering hope and healing to breast cancer and trauma survivors.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast cancer is the leading cause of breast tissue loss, often necessitating a mastectomy to eliminate cancer and prevent its spread. Depending on the severity of the case, surgeries may involve the removal of skin and nipples. While some patients can retain these elements, others may require reconstruction to restore the natural appearance of their breasts.
Breast reconstruction surgery is among the most intricate procedures in plastic surgery. It involves rebuilding the breast form from scratch, incorporating fat, skin, and tissue grafting from various body areas. Implants may also be employed to achieve the desired volume and shape. Nipple reconstruction might be necessary to complete the restoration process.
