Breast reconstruction is a powerful, restorative option for individuals who have undergone breast cancer surgery, helping then regain a sense of wholeness and self.

Our team is deeply committed to compassionate, patient-centered care, recognizing the significance of each step in your recovery. Led by experts and leaders in the field of breast reconstruction, we are proud to offer advanced techniques and highly personalized options to meet each patient’s unique needs and goals.

Our plastic surgeons in New York and New Jersey are highly skilled in both traditional and innovative methods, and we’ll work with you to select the right option based on your goals, preferences, and medical history.
Natural tissue flap reconstruction uses tissue from other parts of your body – often the abdomen, thighs, or back – to recreate a natural-looking breast. This option is ideal for patients who desire a long-lasting, natural feel without implants. Our expertise in microsurgery allows for precise reconnection of blood vessels, ensuring optimal outcomes and a quicker recovery.
Utilizes skin and fat from the abdomen to reconstruct the breast, preserving abdominal muscles for a shorter recovery. This procedure often has the additional benefit of slimming the stomach.
Uses tissue from the inner thigh for patients who may not have enough abdominal tissue.
Involves muscle and tissue from the back, sometimes combined with an implant for additional volume.
Reconstruction after lumpectomy, also known as oncoplastic surgery, is a specialized approach to restoring breast shape and symmetry following a partial mastectomy or lumpectomy. Unlike a mastectomy, which removes the entire breast, a lumpectomy removes only the tumor and a margin of surrounding tissue, often leaving an indentation or asymmetry in the breast. Oncoplastic surgery combines cancer surgery with reconstructive techniques to improve cosmetic outcomes, helping patients maintain a balanced, natural appearance while preserving as much breast tissue as possible.
Oncoplastic surgery can involve several techniques, including reshaping the remaining breast tissue, performing a lift or reduction on the affected breast, or using tissue from other areas of the body to fill any volume loss. In some cases, a matching procedure on the opposite breast may be recommended to achieve the most symmetrical result. This approach not only enhances appearance but can also boost confidence, allowing patients to feel more comfortable and natural post-treatment.
At Specialized Plastic Surgery, our plastic surgeons are experts in oncoplastic techniques, combining a deep understanding of cancer surgery with advanced aesthetics to create the best possible outcomes for our patients. We take a customized approach to each case, focusing on both the functional and aesthetic aspects of reconstruction after lumpectomy. With our commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care, we are dedicated to helping you look and feel your best throughout your journey to recovery.
Mastectomy can leave you feeling numb. Resensation® is a surgical technique designed to restore sensation. With Resensation® you have the opportunity to not only look – but potentially feel – like yourself again. This new technique of breast neurotization, or nerve repair, uses allograft nerve tissue to reconnect and bridge the gap between the nerves in your chest and your reconstructed breast after breast cancer removal surgery.
Male breast cancer, though less common than in women, affects approximately 1 in 1,000 men, with thousands diagnosed each year in the United States. For men undergoing mastectomy or lumpectomy due to breast cancer, breast reconstruction can play an essential role in restoring a natural, masculine chest contour. Male breast reconstruction typically involves flattening and sculpting the chest to achieve symmetry and definition, using techniques such as chest wall contouring, fat grafting, or even nipple reconstruction for a natural appearance.
At Specialized Plastic Surgery, we understand that male breast reconstruction requires a unique approach. We tailor each procedure to respect the natural aesthetics of the male chest, ensuring results that look balanced and masculine. With our expertise in advanced reconstructive techniques, and our commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care, we are the top choice for male breast cancer patients seeking a confident, complete recovery. Our team provides exceptional care and support, working closely with each patient to achieve results that align with their goals and enhance their sense of wholeness and well-being.
