I Am at High Risk for Breast Cancer

If you do choose a risk-reducing mastectomy, breast reconstruction can be an important part of your healing and recovery process. Your surgeon at the Friedman Center will work closely with your oncologic breast surgeon to choose the right procedures for you. Breast reconstruction and mastectomy can often be performed during the same surgery.

Most women who choose to have a risk-reducing mastectomy opt to have immediate breast reconstruction during the same surgical procedure. In certain situations, your plastic surgeon may recommend an additional enhancement procedure such as a breast lift or reduction to provide the best aesthetic outcome.
