The goal of breast cancer treatment is to eliminate cancerous cells from your body, which may involve removing part or nearly all of your natural breast tissue. In that initial stage of care, the focus is your health and longevity, not your appearance. When we plan your breast reconstruction, the goal is to help you reclaim full confidence in your appearance. The results are more for you than for anyone else, and Dr. Bidic and Dr. Gundlapalli will spend a great deal of time listening to and talking with you about your options.
Our doctors specialize in breast reconstruction and have considerable training and experience that they bring to every case. When you consult with them about your reconstruction process, you can expect to engage in meaningful conversation about your desired outcome and the options that will be best suited to your preferences and goals. During your course of treatment, your doctor can discuss their expectations regarding your final cosmetic outcome, including how long it may take for your breasts to soften and settle into the most natural appearance.
