Breast Reconstruction
Conveniently located to serve Torrance
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure designed to restore the shape, symmetry, and appearance of the breasts following a mastectomy or lumpectomy. At Ocean Surgery Center in Torrance, we understand that choosing to undergo breast reconstruction is a deeply personal decision, and we are committed to providing compassionate, state-of-the-art care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
What Is Breast Reconstruction Surgery?
Breast reconstruction surgery is performed to rebuild the breast(s) after a mastectomy or significant breast tissue loss due to cancer treatment or other medical conditions. This procedure can help restore confidence and enhance quality of life by creating a natural-looking breast contour. Depending on the patient’s goals and medical condition, reconstruction can be performed immediately following a mastectomy or as a delayed procedure.
At Ocean Surgery Center, we offer breast reconstruction procedures to meet the needs of patients who have undergone procedures that include:
- Mastectomy – Removal of one or both breasts, often performed as part of cancer treatment or prevention
- Breast lumpectomy – Removes cancerous or abnormal tissue while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible
- Previous breast reconstruction – Addresses complications or refines the results of a previous breast reconstruction surgery
Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Reconstruction?
Breast reconstruction may be a good option for individuals who have undergone a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or other breast surgery due to cancer or medical conditions. Ideal candidates are patients who:
- Are in good overall health
