Specializing in delayed breast reconstruction

Delayed breast reconstruction can be performed weeks, months, or even years after a mastectomy. Most commonly it is performed for patients with:

​

• a poor quality implant reconstruction

• radiation damage

• a failed implant reconstruction

• post mastectomy pain syndrome

• an asymmetric reconstruction

• no reconstruction

​

Please take a minute to review Dr. Dec's patient guide to delayed breast reconstruction and read about six types of patients who benefited from a delayed breast reconstruction.

Hear from a patient who has undergone delayed breast reconstruction

Mary is a patient who was previously treated with a mastectomy and radiation therapy for breast cancer, but was not offered a breast reconstruction at the time of her treatment.

She was told her future options for breast reconstruction were limited because of the extensive treatment she required.

Hear how a delayed breast reconstruction with a DIEP flap was able to restore Mary's breast.
