Before & After Case 157

This patient from near Austin, Texas came to our doctors at the Round Rock, Texas plastic surgery practice for breast reconstruction after being diagnosed with breast carcinoma insitu and deciding to undergo a mastectomy. Understandably, this is very emotional time and our doctors and staff pride themselves in helping to empower breast reconstruction patients while also teaching them about the options they have to restore their breasts after cancer surgery.

Her breast reconstruction involved three stages: initially an expander was placed at the time of mastectomy, after expanding her breasts over about two months the expanders were removed and a silicone breast implant was placed, two months after this nipples were reconstructed and some fat was transferred from her abdomen into the breasts to make them more full.

While this patient chose a heart shaped approach to areolar tattooing the results are still unique and beautiful. Most patients opt for an areolar tattoo that most closely matched their native breast.
