Breast Reconstruction Albany - Post-Mastectomy Surgery Upstate New York

The goal is to rebuild a natural looking breast with symmetry to the other breast. Depending on the circumstances, breast reconstruction can be performed immediately after mastectomy or as a delayed procedure, anywhere from several weeks to years following mastectomy.
There are numerous different techniques of breast reconstruction, although the three most commonly employed techniques include expander/implant reconstruction, latissimus flap reconstruction and TRAM flap reconstruction. It is important that you have a consultation with Dr. Kayastha to determine which method best meets your needs.
