Is a Breast Reconstruction Right For You?

Women choose to have breast reconstruction for a variety of reasons. Seeking breast reconstruction in Charleston SC may be following a mastectomy or due to illness or injury. There are several options for the procedure. Each has pros and cons and the best way to determine which is right for you is to consult with Dr. Dixon and Dr. O’Neill and discuss your medical background, your goals, and preferences.

Breast Reconstruction

Breast Reconstruction is most commonly sought after a full or partial mastectomy. Your surgeon may discuss the procedure with you ahead of time, because some breast reconstruction techniques begin with the mastectomy itself. Others can be performed later on. You don’t have to decide right away about having your breast or breasts reconstructed. It’s a decision you can make when you feel ready to move forward.
