Breast reconstruction is performed after a mastectomy, usually for breast cancer. There are many decisions in the process that need to be discussed with your surgeons -- both the surgical oncologist, who will do the mastectomy, and your plastic surgeon, who will do the breast reconstruction -- to make informed decisions about how your care will proceed.

Here are before and after photos of a few of Dr. Cassileth's patients:

Dr. Lisa Cassileth offers a new alternative to traditional breast reconstruction after mastectomy: Real Breast Reconstruction.

With more women than ever choosing to undergo mastectomy for treatment or prevention of breast cancer, the desire for a better type of reconstruction has grown. Dr. Cassileth's innovative technique allows women to awaken from mastectomy surgery with an intact breast, and only a small scar.
