Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is a physically and emotionally rewarding procedure for a woman who has lost a breast due to cancer or other condition.

The creation of a new breast can dramatically improve your self-image, self-confidence and quality of life. Although surgery can give you a relatively natural-looking breast, a reconstructed breast will never look or feel exactly the same as the breast that was removed.

The final results of breast reconstruction following mastectomy can help lessen the physical and emotional impact of mastectomy.

There are a number of techniques used in beast reconstruction surgery, and Dr. Griffin will discuss your options with you at the time of your consultation.

Following surgery, some breast sensation may return over time, and scar lines will improve, although they'll never disappear completely. There are trade-offs, but most women feel these are small compared to the large improvement in their quality of life and the ability to look and feel whole.
