    Breast Reconstruction

    Breast cancer is a serious issue for all women. Fortunately, early detection and treatment options are continuing to improve. When breast removal (mastectomy) is required, breast reconstruction can be initiated immediately or on a delayed basis. Options may involve using a patient's own tissue, breast implants, or both. A woman's choices are influenced by a number of factors, and an in-depth consultation with Dr. Colony and his caring staff of certified plastic surgical nurses is required to evaluate all the possible options available. Breast reconstruction does more than physically restore breast shape and size, it aids in restoring body image, self-confidence, and helps heal emotional wounds.
