Breast reconstruction can play an important role in the recovery process for many women affected by breast cancer. In some cases, reconstruction may take place at the same time as a mastectomy or lumpectomy.

Our surgeons work alongside your oncologist and breast surgeon to develop the most appropriate plan for your individual needs, helping you understand your options and what to expect.

Jenniferโ€™s breast cancer diagnosis came as a surpriseโ€”she was young and had no family history. After advocating for testing to confirm her diagnosis, she faced an intensive treatment journey, including multiple rounds of chemotherapy during pregnancy, radiation, and a double mastectomy after the birth of her daughter.

Jennifer chose implant-based reconstruction and now helps advocate for others. Her story reflects courage, resilience, and the importance of personalized care.

At the Friedman Center, we support each patient with compassionate guidance and expert surgical care tailored to their individual needs.

Breast reconstruction is often a staged process, designed to evolve with your body and your healing over time.

At the Friedman Center for Breast and Lymphatic Surgery, reconstruction may include multiple steps โ€” allowing for thoughtful refinement, balance, and personalization along the way. This approach gives patients flexibility, comfort, and the opportunity to achieve results that feel right for them.

Your journey doesnโ€™t have to be rushed.
Healing takes time โ€” and your reconstruction plan can honor that. ๐Ÿ’—
