When performed after mastectomy, this procedure helps recreate natural-looking breast shape, contour, and symmetry. Andrew L. Weinstein, MD, FACS, applies advanced surgical techniques and an artist’s eye to help you achieve results that feel balanced, natural, and authentically you.
Rediscover Your Sense of Wholeness

Using advanced reconstructive techniques and an artistic approach to form and proportion, Dr. Weinstein creates natural-looking results tailored to your anatomy, helping you feel more complete after breast cancer treatment or revision surgery.

Breast reconstruction may help address:
- Loss of one or both breasts following mastectomy

What Are the Benefits of Breast Reconstruction?
Restore Natural Contours
Breast reconstruction recreates the shape, volume, and projection of the breast following mastectomy, helping achieve balanced, natural-looking contours that complement your body. Every surgical plan is customized to your anatomy, goals, and cancer treatment journey.
Feel More Like Yourself
Restoring your breast can help you feel more comfortable in clothing, improve body confidence, and support emotional healing after breast cancer treatment. The goal is to help you move forward with renewed confidence while preserving a natural appearance.
Refine Previous Results
Revision breast reconstruction can correct implant-related concerns like capsular contracture, asymmetry, rippling, implant malposition, or rupture. Addressing these issues may improve both aesthetics and comfort while enhancing the longevity of your reconstruction.
Tailored to You
No two reconstructive procedures are alike. Dr. Weinstein develops a personalized surgical plan using advanced reconstructive techniques, meticulous attention to detail, and an artist’s eye to create results that look balanced, refined, and authentically yours.
Revision of Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction
Revision of implant-based breast reconstruction requires both technical precision and an advanced aesthetic eye. Dr. Weinstein draws on his elite fellowship training, years of experience practicing alongside renowned breast plastic surgeon Dr. David Hidalgo, and his background as a sculptor to address capsular contracture, implant malposition, asymmetry, rippling, implant rupture, and unsatisfactory results. Every revision is thoughtfully tailored to restore natural-looking contours while prioritizing patient safety.
FAQs
Can Breast Reconstruction Be Performed Years After a Mastectomy?
Yes. While some women choose immediate reconstruction, others decide to restore their breasts months or even years later. Delayed reconstruction remains an excellent option for many patients and can be carefully planned around your overall health, previous cancer treatments, and desired outcome.
How Long Is the Recovery After Breast Reconstruction?
Recovery depends on the complexity of your procedure and whether you are undergoing your first reconstruction or a revision. Most patients initially experience some swelling, tightness, and soreness, with gradual improvement over the following weeks. Dr. Weinstein provides detailed postoperative guidance and monitors your healing to support a safe, comfortable recovery.
