✨ Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy – What to Expect ✨

pre-operative and post-operative result after mastectomy with implant-based reconstruction.

Every reconstruction journey is unique. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s restoring form, confidence, and helping patients feel whole again after breast cancer.

📌 Reconstruction is a process

📌 Healing takes time, and results continue to improve for months

📌 Options are individualized based on anatomy, cancer treatment, and patient goals

If you or someone you love is facing mastectomy, know that you have options—and you don’t have to navigate this alone.

🩷 Photos shared with patient permission. Results vary.

We tried to take an office photo…
Then clinic happened.
Then Christmas Eve surgery happened.

So here’s AI’s best attempt 😅🎄💗
Endlessly grateful for the teams at Lee Health Sanctuary Surgery Center, and Dr. Spencer Michalke—couldn’t do this without you.

🧶 Knitted Knockers: Comfort, Dignity, and Hope
Not all breast cancer survivors choose traditional prostheses — and they don’t have to. Knitted Knockers are soft, lightweight, handmade breast prostheses lovingly crafted by volunteers for women after mastectomy or lumpectomy.
They fit comfortably in a bra, are gentle on healing tissue, and come at no cost to patients.
Grateful for the incredible community who supports our survivors with compassion in every stitch. 💗

🍁 Healthy Thanksgiving Tip:
Did you know a brisk 20–30 minute walk after your meal can help regulate blood sugar, improve digestion, AND support overall breast health through consistent activity? 🩷

Today I’m grateful for my family, my patients, my team, and the privilege of caring for women and men in SWFL.

Wishing you a joyful, delicious, and healthy Thanksgiving! 🦃
