No one can prepare you for the loss of one or both breasts due to cancer or other illness. When a piece of what makes you a woman, when a piece of your body is taken from you, it is only natural to grieve and the healing process, both physically and emotionally follows no set time line, but one that is unique to each patient.

Today there are many different options available for women following the removal of one or both breasts, and while no one answer is best for all, for some women, a Reconstructive Breast Surgery may be the best fit. Dr. Place works personally with each patient, discussing the pros and cons and how they specifically apply to each individual patient’s needs, goals and desires to create the best plan for them.

When considering a Breast Reconstructive Surgery, there are three different kinds of reconstructive procedures you will be presented with. These options are: an implant based reconstruction, a Latissimus flap reconstruction, and a TRAM flap reconstruction.
