Breast Reconstruction
Restore confidence and wholeness after mastectomy with advanced reconstruction techniques
Restoring Form & Confidence
Breast reconstruction is a transformative surgical procedure that rebuilds the breast shape after mastectomy or lumpectomy for breast cancer treatment. Dr. Michael C. Glafkides specializes in both implant-based and autologous tissue reconstruction, offering patients multiple options for restoration.
As a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with 35 years of experience, Dr. Michael C. Glafkides understands the profound physical and emotional impact of breast cancer. He works closely with oncology teams to provide compassionate, comprehensive care that restores not just appearance, but confidence and quality of life.
Reconstruction can be performed immediately at the time of mastectomy or delayed until after cancer treatment is complete. The approach is tailored to each patient's medical needs, body type, and personal preferences.
