Breast reconstruction is an important surgical option for individuals who have undergone partial or total breast removal due to cancer or other diseases. At The Centre, P.C., our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in reconstructing breasts to restore their natural shape and form, helping patients regain confidence and a sense of normalcy.
In most cases, breast reconstruction can be performed immediately following mastectomy or delayed until after other treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation. This procedure does not affect the recurrence of breast cancer or interfere with ongoing treatments.
Single stage approach is most suitable for candidates of nipple sparing, skin sparing mastectomies. A permanent implant, silcone or saline, is inserted immediately following the mastectomy.
Option 2 would be a two-stage procedure where at the time of the mastectomy a tissue expander is inserted into the pocket under the skin. This device is gradually filled with saline over the course of several weeks to stretch the skin. Once the desired volume is achieved, in a secondary operation, the expander is removed and replaced with a permanent implant.
Oncoplastic or breast conservation reconstruction is the removal of breast cancer while still leaving an adequate portion of breast tissue behind to make a cosmetically appealing breast.
Flap reconstruction uses tissue from other parts of the body to recreate the breast. Options include:

Dr. Macias and her staff helped make this very personal decision easy and comfortable. They took the time to listen and answered all my questions. I was very nervous about having breast surgery but after it was done I was so happy with the results. She truly nailed it. I would highly recommend Dr. Macias to anyone considering any cosmetic surgery.
Everyone here is so kind, helpful, talented and caring.I trust highly in them and will always come to them for all my cosmetic concerns and care!!❤️
Dr. Downs and The Centre, P.C. staff are wonderful to work with for questions/concerns prior to and after surgery during recovery period. Dr. Downs consults with patient prior to surgery to confirm understanding of what results are important to them.
Additionally, Dr. Downs personally follows up after surgery to ensure that things are going well after discharge which I was extremely impressed by. The office/surgical center provides a more discrete and personalized patient environment with a separate door entrance for the follow-up appointment the day after surgery as well.
The medspa staff are always friendly and welcoming. Kellee has the LIGHTEST touch with an injection needle and always does a great job!
