Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction surgery restores the shape and appearance of the breast following mastectomy, lumpectomy, trauma, or congenital conditions. Reconstruction can help patients regain confidence and restore body balance after breast cancer treatment or breast loss.
Dr. Tran offers personalized breast reconstruction options tailored to each patient’s anatomy, health, and goals.
You may be a candidate for breast reconstruction if you:
- Have undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy
- Have breast asymmetry after cancer treatment
- Desire restoration of breast shape and contour
- Have congenital breast deformities or trauma-related changes
- Are seeking delayed or immediate reconstruction options
Breast reconstruction consultation
During your consultation we will discuss:
- Your reconstructive goals and expectations
- Medical history, cancer treatment history, and medications
- Previous surgeries or radiation therapy
- Reconstruction options and recovery expectations
Dr. Tran will create a customized reconstruction plan based on your needs and treatment history.
Breast reconstruction options
Implant-based reconstruction
Breast implants may be used to restore breast shape and volume following mastectomy or breast tissue loss.
Tissue flap reconstruction
Tissue from another area of the body may be used to recreate the breast mound for a more natural reconstruction.
Combination reconstruction
In some cases, reconstruction may combine implants with the patient’s own tissue to achieve optimal results.
Preparing for your breast reconstruction surgery
Before surgery, patients may be instructed to:
- Obtain medical clearance or imaging studies if necessary
- Stop smoking before and after surgery
- Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements
- Arrange transportation and postoperative support
What to expect after your breast reconstruction surgery
Following surgery, patients receive detailed postoperative instructions including:
- Drain and incision care if necessary
- Activity restrictions and garment recommendations
- Medications and follow-up appointments
- Recovery timeline and healing guidance

Breast reconstruction recovery
Recovery varies depending on the type of reconstruction performed. Swelling, soreness, and temporary fatigue are common during the healing process.
Breast reconstruction results
As healing progresses, patients experience improved breast contour, symmetry, and confidence. Breast reconstruction can play an important role in emotional and physical recovery following breast cancer treatment.
