Breast Reconstruction Revision

Gregarious799005

BMX with reconstruction due to breast cancer, implant exchange, and revision of the right breast

I had had a BMX with reconstruction due to breast cancer, implant exchange, and revision of the right breast with another plastic surgeon and I was very unhappy with the results. The implants he had placed were way too big and left me unable to do my job and exercise comfortably. They also looked terrible. Dr. Chen and her awesome team spent an hour listening to my concerns and coming up with a treatment plan. She did my revision six weeks ago and I’m thrilled with the results! I feel so much better physically and mentally and I know the appearance will only improve after Dr. Chen does fat grafting. She and her team are the best of the best! Updated on 11 Sep 2025: I’m currently 4 months post op from my second revision with Dr. Chen and I’m so happy with my results! I had previously undergone a BMX with reconstruction and 2 revision surgeries with another plastic surgeon. I was so unhappy with what he had done, but he would brush me off when I voiced my concerns. Dr. Chen, her team, and Condell Hospital gave me excellent care and I finally feel like I can move on with my life. I recommend Dr. Chen to everyone and I’m so grateful she took on my case! Here’s what she did: -Plane change from UTM to OTM -Placed Galaflex mesh for support -Implant size reduction -Skin removal -Bilateral capsulectomy -Hid my scars -Fat grafting from inner thighs

Breast Reconstruction with Fat Transfer

I had an amazing experience! Dr. Chen has exceeded all my expectations!

My quest to find a reputable breast reconstruction surgeon in a short period of time was challenging. I had heard great things about Dr. Chen but I was hesitant to work with her because she’s only been practicing for a few years. I’m glad I listened to my gut because Dr. Chen has exceeded all my expectations! She is personable but professional. She’s always been attentive, honest, and a great listener. She is truly passionate about her work and is a perfectionist to boot! I highly recommend her for any type of body plastic surgery and breast reconstruction !! Thank you Dr. Chen!!
