Breast reconstruction is an important surgical option for individuals who have undergone partial or total breast removal due to cancer or other diseases. At The Centre, P.C., our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in reconstructing breasts to restore their natural shape and form, helping patients regain confidence and a sense of normalcy.
In most cases, breast reconstruction can be performed immediately following mastectomy or delayed until after other treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation. This procedure does not affect the recurrence of breast cancer or interfere with ongoing treatments.
Single stage approach is most suitable for candidates of nipple sparing, skin sparing mastectomies. A permanent implant, silcone or saline, is inserted immediately following the mastectomy.
Option 2 would be a two-stage procedure where at the time of the mastectomy a tissue expander is inserted into the pocket under the skin. This device is gradually filled with saline over the course of several weeks to stretch the skin. Once the desired volume is achieved, in a secondary operation, the expander is removed and replaced with a permanent implant.
Oncoplastic or breast conservation reconstruction is the removal of breast cancer while still leaving an adequate portion of breast tissue behind to make a cosmetically appealing breast.
Flap reconstruction uses tissue from other parts of the body to recreate the breast. Options include:
I was referred to The Centre by the on call hand Doctor that reviewed my ER case after I split my thumb open. From setting up my appointment to being taken care of by the staff, it was a pleasant experience. Each member of the team I met was attentive, very forthright with any information I needed & were an absolute pleasure to be around. Dr. Downs has an amazing staff!
Dr. Downs and whole team at Centre PC have been amazing! They listened to me as I told them my desired results, provided different options for me, based on years of industry knowledge and worked alongside me as I navigated the headaches of insurance. I couldn’t be happier with my experience there and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make some positive change in their life!
It has been officially 5 week since my tummy tuck and breast lift. After losing 150lbs I knew I needed this done but never thought it would be possible. After meeting with Dr. Downs and his team my dreams started to seem like reality. Five weeks ago we completed 1 of my 2 suggested surgery’s. My recovery so far has been extremely easy with little to no pain. Dr. Downs has been just the best. He took his time and explained every part of my surgery and what I could expect. It was a pleasant surprise to wake up from surgery and find out he didn’t have to make the vertical incision down my stomach due to all the my weight loss, and lose skin. I’m so happy Dr. Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery. Can’t wait for him to complete my project.
Dr. Downs is fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and communicates very effectively. The staff made this experience comfortable for me. I am very happy and pleased with the results.
I had a great experience here, the staff are so friendly and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Downs is the best, I will definitely be returning.
