This patient came to see Dr. Leveque after having a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. The patient also underwent radiation therapy for treatment of breast cancer; therefore, the latissimus dorsi flap procedure was appropriate for her breast reconstruction. Dr. Leveque placed 339cc silicone gel implants at the same time as the lattisimus flap. She later underwent fat transfer from her abdomen to her breasts to help create fulness in both breasts. She also chose to have nipple tatooing done for a more natural breast look.

Poland Syndrome

A 21-year-old plastic surgery patient presented to our office for consultation regarding correction of a very rare breast/chest deformity called Poland Syndrome. He was otherwise very healthy, athlete. After through clinical evaluation we found that his deformity is mild to moderate and that he is only missing a portion of the chest muscle (pectoral muscle, peck muscle). More severe forms of this deformity include loss of the ribs with chest deformity, as well as deformity of the upper extremity. We discussed complex reconstructive breast procedure which will include transfer of a live muscle from his back to replace missing pectoral muscle.

His surgery was done in hospital in general anesthesia. It involved preparation and transfer of a powerful latissimus dorsi muscle from his back to the front; muscle was fixed to the ribs in the same position as a missing pectoral muscle to create symmetry with opposite site.

Patient is shown before surgery on the left; notice severe asymmetry between left and right breast/chest. On the right patient is shown 3 years after surgery; he was able with exercise to build transferred muscle to match the size of a contralateral muscle. He has a small scar in the right armpit which is the only reminder of previous condition.

	This 59-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer opted for immediate implant breast reconstruction with silicone gel implants. After photos at 1 year demonstrate excellent size and shape of her reconstructed breasts. She will be undergoing nipple-areolar complex reconstruction in the near future to complete her reconstruction.


Implant-based breast reconstruction


	This is a 63-year-old woman with a history of right breast CA. She was to undergo a right mastectomy and desired breast reconstruction following this procedure. She wished to hopefully improve the shape and increase her size post-reconstrction. She opted for implant-based breast reconstruction on the right along with left implant placement, both using silicone, cohesive gel implants. After photos at 1 year show improved size and shape from preoperative as she wished for.&nbsp;


Breast reconstruction - tissue expanders

Breast implant removal is more than just removing the prosthesis and capsules. It's reconstructive surgery that has aesthetic goals for our patients. The great thing about this surgery is that we can use the patient's tissue for reconstruction, allowing immediate results. Plus, it's almost always painless and leaves an L-shaped scar with no scars in the cleavage area. Thanks to the BRALAN Technique(Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation), we can achieve a consistent and stable aesthetic result regardless of breast tissue size.

In this case a breast reduction with breast lift was performed. You can see the outcome of this surgical procedure typically manifests itself as fuller breasts with improved projection and natural-looking curves with enhanced volume in both the upper and middle parts of the breast area. Furthermore, because it was all done using your own body tissue. The final result is improved self-confidence due to aesthetically pleasing results achieved through minimal scarring in an L shape incision.

Breast reconstruction in Colombia is a way to improve the results of previous procedures by adding volume, shape, and lift to the breasts using the patients tissue. Dr. Alan repositions tissue to create the new breast shape. This procedure forms a natural-looking and feeling breast mound with results that last a lifetime. In some cases, breast reconstruction alone doesnt provide sufficient volume in the breasts. Patients wishing additional fullness can return for adipose tissue or fat grafting. These procedures work best when performed at least six months after the initial breast construction to achieve the highest survival rate for the fat graft and the lowest risk of complications.

42 year old woman with bilateral mastectomy and radiation. She began her delayed reconstruction about 6 years after her mastectomy. She was able to regenerate her natural breasts after various BRAVA + AFT sessions. These sessions were able to reverse the radiation fibrosis and the tightness in her chest. She now has natural, soft, bouncy breasts and improved her overall shape with the liposuction.

Patient is a 57-year old Caucasian female, initially referred to me by her medical oncologist.  I initially saw patient in consultation regarding possible breast reconstruction options.  She had been recently-diagnosed with diffuse, high-grade DCIS of her left breast.  Of note, she had a history of intraductal carcinoma (ER (+)/ PR (+)) of the right breast for which she underwent a mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection.  She had a lengthy breast reconstruction at that time using a right latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and small implant.  She had some type of operative revision of her breast reconstruction.  She denied receiving any radiation therapy. She then underwent left total mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection, and I then performed immediate reconstruction with a submuscular Tissue-expander that was filled with 100 cc sterile saline.  She complained that her old right, reconstructed breast was too small and didn't look right.  At the same setting, I performed a revision of her right breast reconstruction that had developed severe capsular contracture and deformity, and was also much too small in size in comparison to patients left breast.  I approached the breast via an inframammary incision, performed Capsulectomy and Capsulotomies, and removed a small, smooth, round 90 cc silicone implant that was intact.  I then placed Alloderm and an Allergan Tissue Expander with a total fill-volume of 500 cc into the pocket and filled the expander with 70 cc of sterile saline.  She went on to heal well and had tissue expansion performed on an outpatient basis.  She then underwent Removal of her Tissue Expanders and Replacements with Allergan (Natrelle) silicone gel, Style 20 (high-profile) implants- 500 cc on the left side and a 550 cc on the right side. &nbsp;Finally, she had Bilateral Nipple-Areolar Reconstructions with local flaps and did not desire tatooing.&nbsp;
