Breast Reconstruction

At Kansas Plastic Surgery, one of the services we pride ourselves on is breast reconstruction. This procedure is performed to return a more normal size and shape to the breast after the breast has been partially or fully removed.

At Kansas Plastic Surgery, our breast reconstruction treatments can be done in coordination with your breast surgeon. This means that reconstruction can be done at the same time as your mastectomy or lumpectomy. We offer a variety of reconstruction methods. At your consultation, we can discuss which of these methods are right for you.

What it treats:

• Restores breast size and shape starting on the day of a mastectomy
