Breast Reconstruction in Atlanta, Georgia
Why Choose Breast Reconstruction?
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure to create a breast that has been removed because of cancer or other disease.
Candidates for breast reconstruction include women who have had a mastectomy or who will be having a mastectomy. A breast reconstruction that is performed at the time of mastectomy is called immediate breast reconstruction. An alternative is to perform the reconstruction some time after the mastectomy.
There are many different procedures for breast reconstruction which fall into two categories. One category includes skin expansion and later insertion of an implant. The other category includes the use of living tissue taken from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen or back.
Each person dealing with breast cancer has her own personal issues and concerns. Dr. Kavali will discuss all of your options with you so that you make a truly informed decision.
