Your Individual Goals

Breast Reconstruction Procedure Details
If you have undergone a mastectomy or radiation therapy, you may have insufficient tissue on your chest wall to cover or support a breast implant. Dr. Bucky almost always uses either a flap technique or tissue expansion to accommodate your breast implant.
When performing a flap technique, Dr. Bucky uses donor muscle, fat, and skin from your abdomen or buttock to reconstruct your breast. You may choose breast implants as an addition or alternative to flap techniques. Should tissue expansion be your course of action, during office visits, Dr. Bucky’s tissue expansion technique stretches your healthy skin to provide coverage for a breast implant over the course of several months. Dr. Bucky provides both saline and silicone implants for your breast reconstruction procedure.
Your breast reconstruction procedure will be performed under general anesthesia administered by a Board Certified Anesthesiologist. Dr. Bucky works with a Board Certified operating team. Following your breast reconstruction procedure, you can anticipate a rapid recovery rate with Dr. Bucky’s extensive post-operative care program. You will have access to a vitamin regimen, a personal nurse, and Dr. Bucky will check on you mornings and afternoons. Dr. Bucky also works closely with an on-site physical therapist and supervises exercise protocol developed specifically for you.
