Reasons for Breast Reconstruction Surgery
-
Restore the Breasts
Whether you suffer from breast asymmetry, loss of the nipple-areolar complex, or a genetic deformity, breast reconstruction can recreate the bustline you desire. At Scultura Plastic Surgery, we can revitalize the size and shape of your breasts.
-
Revive Femininity
While overcoming disease is a significant triumph, women who undergo a mastectomy often feel a loss of femininity after the procedure. Those who have lived with a congenital condition that distorts the breasts may also feel less feminine. Breast reconstruction can restore a woman’s femininity and reestablish her sense of wholeness by utilizing the most modern reconstructive techniques.
-
Customized Results
Each breast reconstruction procedure is tailored to the needs and cosmetic goals of the patient to ensure that the results are beautiful and natural looking. Attention to detail is of paramount importance so that we deliver optimal breast reconstruction results.

Improve Self-Esteem
Many women with breast imperfections that result from disease or cancer treatment experience diminished or damaged self-esteem. Fortunately, we can help improve your self-esteem by performing breast reconstruction surgery.

Your Breast Reconstruction Procedure
Consultation
During a personal consultation, you will have an opportunity to meet with Dr. Strawn and discuss your medical history, surgical techniques, and your expectations of the procedure. He will also answer any of your questions and concerns to help make your breast reconstruction journey more comfortable and relaxed.
Mastectomy
- This procedure involves removing the tissue that is affected by breast cancer
- Some high-risk patients may opt for this procedure as a preventative measure
- Breast reconstruction may or may not be performed at the same time as mastectomy
- Patients who are still undergoing cancer treatment may need to delay their breast reconstruction until after their mastectomy
Reconstruction Techniques
Expander and Implant Reconstruction
- A tissue expander is placed into the breast pocket to stretch the tissue in preparation for an implant
- It takes several weeks to several months of slowly filling the expander with sterile saline to open the breast pocket to the desired size
- After the tissue has stretched sufficiently, the expander is replaced with an implant
Tissue Flap Reconstruction
- Tissue is removed from one part of the body (back, thigh, or abdomen) and used to reconstruct the breast
- Enough tissue must be harvested to cover a breast implant
Nipple Reconstruction
- Dr. Strawn utilizes various nipple reconstruction techniques
- All options will be discussed thoroughly during the initial consultation
