Q: Why do mastectomy patients have a breast lift or reduction to the unaffected breast?
A:Some patients have a lift, reduction or even enlargement in order to create more symmetry between both breasts. Talk to our surgeons to see if this is an option for you.

A: Do you tattoo for nipple reconstruction?
Q:Yes. Depending on the type of surgery and if a nipple is unavailable, we tattoo a nipple on the reconstructed breast. The color and shape of your natural nipple is duplicated on the reconstructed side to give the appearance of a natural nipple.

Q: What risks can I expect from this surgery?
A:As with all procedures, there is always a possibility of certain risks and complications. Complications may include bleeding, fluid collection, excessive scar tissue, infection or a reaction to anesthesia or medications. You can reduce these risks by following your surgeon's instructions closely.
