Microsurgical Reconstruction in Beverly Hills & Pasadena

Microsurgical breast reconstruction enables Dr. Rogers to utilize excitingly advanced surgical techniques to restore your bust using your body’s own tissues for a safe and effective outcome.

What Is Microsurgical Reconstruction?

Microsurgical breast reconstruction is a surgical technique that involves using microscopes and specialized instruments to perform complex procedures that require precision at a microscopic level. This technique is often used in reconstructive surgery to repair or restore damaged tissues or organs, such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy, or to repair nerves, blood vessels, and other small structures. With microsurgical breast reconstruction, fat cells, tissues, and blood vessels can be harvested from other areas of your body, after which they can then be utilized to create a new, natural breast mound. This type of breast reconstruction enables Dr. Rogers to forego the use of artificial implants, creating results that are naturalistic and restorative.

It is a particularly suitable alternative for those who have received radiation therapy to the chest. During your initial consultation, Dr. Rogers will work closely with you to gain an understanding of your medical history so he can help you choose the type of breast reconstruction that will be ideal for your lifestyle and goals. He works closely with all his patients and places a strong emphasis on helping them develop customized treatment plans aligned with their surgical goals.

The Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction Experience

Microsurgical breast reconstruction is a highly specialized procedure, with surgery lasting between six and eight hours. In some cases, the surgery may be performed in multiple stages. In general, microsurgical breast reconstruction is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient will be asleep and will not feel any pain during the procedure.

During the procedure, Dr. Rogers will utilize microsurgical techniques to carefully harvest blood vessels, nerves, fat cells, and other tissues from a “donor area” somewhere on your body. Common donor areas include the abdomen or upper thigh, for example, thanks to their tendency to offer an ideal abundance of tissue and blood vessels.

Once the donor tissues have been properly harvested, they will be transferred to your chest wall, where they will be used to shape a natural breast mound according to your personalized surgical plan. Once the incisions have been closed and the surgery is complete, you will likely need to spend two or three days in the hospital before returning home to begin your recovery.

Your Rest, Recovery, and Results

The recovery period for microsurgical breast reconstruction can vary depending on several factors, but most patients experience about six to eight weeks of recovery following their microsurgical breast reconstruction. Before your surgery, you’ll be given a clear set of instructions that will help you stay comfortable throughout the aftercare process, along with a very detailed idea of exactly what your recovery timeline will entail. We’ll be sure to schedule follow-up appointments so that Dr. Rogers can ensure you’re healing comfortably and quickly, and our team will also remain available to you at all times during your recovery.
