Immediate Breast Reconstruction

Immediate breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure performed during the same operation as a mastectomy, aimed at rebuilding the breast right after its removal. This approach provides an immediate aesthetic result, helping to preserve a woman’s body image and supporting emotional recovery after a cancer diagnosis.

Key Features:

• Performed during mastectomy: The reconstruction is completed in a single procedure, sparing patients from undergoing multiple surgeries.
• Types of reconstruction: Dr. Cheung meticulously tailors the reconstruction method to each patient’s specific needs, whether it involves implant-based reconstruction or autologous reconstruction (using the patient’s own tissue). For patients undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomies, Dr. Cheung utilizes advanced techniques to preserve the nipple and areola complex, ensuring the most natural and aesthetic result possible.
• Benefits: Immediate reconstruction allows for the restoration of the breast’s appearance, reducing the emotional impact of mastectomy. It also reduces the number of surgeries required, providing a quicker path to recovery.

With decades of experience and an emphasis on meticulous care, Dr. Cheung ensures every patient receives the highest level of personalized treatment, carefully selecting the optimal reconstructive method to deliver the best aesthetic, functional, and long-term outcomes.
