Breast reconstruction is achieved with a variety of procedures to attempt to restore and improve the shape of the breast after mastectomy (removal of a breast), or lumpectomy (removal of part of the breast). One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime, and sometimes, even men are diagnosed with breast cancer. When mastectomy is a part of the treatment plan, many important decisions need to be made, including when and if reconstructive surgery is desired, as well as what type of reconstructive procedure to have, and which plastic and reconstructive surgeon to choose. With Dr. Saied Asfa as your reconstructive breast surgeon, you are in the best possible hands for your care. His decades of experience in breast reconstruction, coupled with his thoughtful, individualized approach helps his patients look and feel better.
