Procedures are performed by Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon and Aesthetic-Reconstructive Specialist Dr. Lori Cherup in Pittsburgh, PA.

A 52 year old woman had a left modified radical mastectomy 1 year prior to our visit. A tissue expander stretched her chest skin, and 4 months later was replaced with a 600cc saline implant.

Patient 2
A 45 year old patient had a right lateral biopsy indicating breast cancer. She elected to have bilateral mastectomies.

Nipple reconstructions were accomplished 6 months later.

Patient 4
A 50 year old patient had bilateral mastectomies that were not skin- sparing. Bilateral tissue expanders were inserted in an out-patient procedure, and eventually filled to 550cc. Eight weeks after the expander surgery, they were replaced with 600cc silicone implants. She can now wear a 40C bra comfortably.

Patient 5
A 60 year old patient had a right segmental mastectomy and radiation. She had breast asymmetry and a deflated left breast. I reconstructed her with fat grafting and an implant to the right breast, and a smaller implant to the left breast. A tattoo reconstructed her right areola.
