He made me feel like I was his only patient and he took his time to explain the procedures and answered all of our questions. I am still in the reconstruction phase and I know that I am in the best hands possible!! Nurse Rayna is professional, warm and very knowledgeable. Not to mention that Dr. Hurvitz and Nurse Rayna also have the best sense of humor. Ivonne and Nicole in the front office are also very friendly and helpful. The office runs very smoothly and I have never had to wait long for my appointments.”

Breast Reconstruction Surgery

 
Breast reconstruction surgery rebuilds the breast mound so that it is about the same size and shape as it was before. If the nipple/areola was removed, it can be reconstructed as well.

Restoring volume to the breasts can be done with breast implants or fat transferred from another area of the body (i.e. abdomen, thigh, hip). Dr. Hurvitz will provide his recommendation following the physical evaluation.

A note about symmetry: If only one breast is affected, it alone may be reconstructed. In addition, a breast lift, breast reduction or breast augmentation may be recommended for the opposite breast to improve symmetry of the size and position of both breasts.

Due to the variables associated with breast reconstruction after mastectomy, and every case being vastly different, we are unable to provide specific details on our site as to recovery time, length of surgery, how many surgeries will be required, etc. These details will be discussed during your consultation.

Ideal Breast Reconstruction Candidates

 
Most women who have had one or both breasts removed (mastectomy) are eligible for mastectomy reconstruction or double mastectomy reconstruction. Women who have had only the part of the breast around the cancer removed (lumpectomy) may not need reconstruction.

Breast Reconstruction Cost

 
Most breast reconstruction cases are eligible for reimbursement. If you have medical insurance, please bring that information with you on your first visit.
