Breast reconstruction offers a pathway that many women have followed toward richer emotional and physical recoveries after injury or removal of a breast from trauma, the effects of a disease, or treatments for disease. Advancements in breast implants and surgical techniques have improved what is possible in reconstructing a breast with a natural-looking shape and appearance. Dr. M. Bradley Calobrace believes it’s important to emphasize that even with these advances, patients considering breast reconstruction at his Louisville and Lexington, KY practice should understand that the new breast will not look or feel exactly like a natural breast.
At CaloAesthetics® Plastic Surgery Center, women often have many questions about breast reconstruction after mastectomy. When performed by a skilled plastic surgeon such as Dr. Calobrace, the procedure can create an enhanced breast appearance and help you take the next step in your fight against breast cancer. Request a consultation or call (502) 899-9979 to schedule your visit and learn more about this procedure.

Breast reconstruction can be performed at the time of your mastectomy, called immediate reconstruction, or weeks, months, or years later, called delayed reconstruction. Careful discussions with the surgeon for the mastectomy and your plastic surgeon should come before you make a final decision on reconstruction timing. Each choice has its own advantages and disadvantages.
This free, easy-to-use program lets you access your records and documents, learn about procedures, and even upload your own photos.
LEARN MOREIn immediate reconstruction, the plastic surgeon is in the operating room and begins as soon as the surgeon performing the mastectomy finishes. It is sometimes possible that the incision locations and method of mastectomy, such as a skin-sparing mastectomy, can be made favorable to reconstruction, but these choices vary between patients. Usually, immediate reconstruction produces superior results with fewer surgical procedures and carries the benefit of some relief for the emotions associated with a changed body image. An elevated complication risk and lengthened recovery from the surgeries should be weighed in deciding on this option.
We use a breakthrough device to enhance the consultation process our for breast surgery patients. VECTRA® 3-D is an advanced software system that produces a three-dimensional image of the patient's existing appearance plus an integral fourth dimension: an image of the expected results.
Learn MoreDelayed reconstruction allows more time following mastectomy for considering the surgical approach to reconstruction. In cases involving radiation or chemotherapy, the time interval allows for these treatments.
Each patient’s medical situation, surgery goals, and breast size/shape influence the unique approach taken by the plastic surgeon in the course of breast reconstruction. Often reconstruction involves 2 or more procedures over time.
Nipple and areola reconstruction is usually performed as a separate procedure after your reconstructed breasts have healed.
