Dr David Oliver does implant reconstruction both at the time of mastectomy and as a delayed procedure.
Breast reconstruction surgery can be performed:
Some women leave it for a number of years. Breast reconstruction is a very personal decision.
The implant is either inserted either under or on top of the muscle immediately, or more commonly after having already developed a pocket for the implant by inserting a tissue expander (inflatable temporary implant).
Breast reconstruction has been found to greatly enhance your self-image and quality-of-life.
If you choose to rebuild your breasts after mastectomy, Dr Oliver can perform your breast reconstruction.
During reconstruction, your surgeon creates a breast mound using an implant or tissue flap taken from your stomach, thighs, back, or buttocks.
