Breast Reconstruction in South Florida

Compassionate, Personalized Surgery After Breast Cancer

A breast cancer diagnosis affects far more than the body — it affects identity, confidence, and quality of life. For many women, breast reconstruction is a vital step toward healing. Whether you’re preparing for a mastectomy or seeking revision after past treatment, South Florida Plastic Surgery offers a full range of reconstructive options delivered with compassion, skill, and discretion.

Dr. Nair provides personalized breast reconstruction for women across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raton, restoring both form and confidence after breast loss.

🧠 What Is Breast Reconstruction?

  • Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure to rebuild one or both breasts following mastectomy, lumpectomy, or trauma. It restores shape, size, and symmetry using either implants or the patient’s own tissue (flap reconstruction).

    “This wasn’t just surgery — it helped me feel whole again. Dr. Nair made me feel safe, understood, and beautiful.”
    Elena R., Boca Raton

✅ Types of Breast Reconstruction We Offer

🔹 Implant-Based Reconstruction

  • Uses silicone or saline breast implants

  • Often performed in two stages (tissue expander → implant)

  • Ideal for patients not undergoing radiation

  • Shorter surgery and recovery time

🔹 Autologous Tissue (Flap) Reconstruction

  • Uses patient’s own tissue from abdomen, thigh, or back

  • Includes DIEP, TRAM, LAT, or GAP flaps

  • Offers more natural look and feel

  • Best for long-term durability, especially after radiation

🔹 Nipple & Areola Reconstruction

  • May include 3D tattooing or surgical nipple recreation

  • Often performed as a final touch for symmetry and aesthetics

👤 Who’s a Candidate?

You may be a candidate for breast reconstruction if:

  • You’ve undergone or are planning a mastectomy or lumpectomy

  • You want to restore your body image and confidence

  • You’re medically cleared by your oncology team

  • You’ve had implant complications and seek revision

  • You’re emotionally prepared for a reconstructive journey

🛠️ When Can Reconstruction Be Done?

1. Immediate Reconstruction

Performed during mastectomy — preserves more skin and may reduce the number of surgeries.

2. Delayed Reconstruction

Performed weeks to years after mastectomy — ideal for patients undergoing radiation or chemo.

Dr. Nair coordinates closely with your oncologist and surgical team to ensure timing supports both healing and aesthetics.
