Breast Reconstruction Reviews
Awesome Experince - After visiting just about every Surgeon in MS and LA, I saw Dr. Davidson, I knew right then he was my pick. In October 2016 I went in to the office and he drained my 450 each breast saline implants. No pain so simple, sent me home and said come back in 6 weeks. Mind you I still had the bags in. Thought this would be hard really never knew they were there. I had some pre-cancerous spots...
Dr Davidson is by far the best! 2 years ago I had a double mastectomy and reconstruction and because of him it couldn’t have gone better! 2 years later and still going strong! I am so thankful for him and his team!
Dr. Davidson and The Face and Body Center were the best thing to happen to me in December 2018. I am a Breast cancer survivor and needed to have some difficult reconstruction work done. Dr. Davidson meet with me and was kind and honest and he delivered exactly what he told me!! He has the best bed-side manner and his nurse Lindsey is a jewel!! High recommend you see him if you are needing an reconstruction.
Reconstruction Post Bilateral Mastectomy - Dr. Brantley performed bilateral breast reconstruction following bilateral mastectomy for Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma. It took 3 additional surgeries to obtain the desired results. All of my questions and concerns were addressed by Dr. Brantley, Susan and Devin and they were so supportive during this difficult time. I am very pleased with the end results. Everyone, from scheduling my first consult to checking out on my last post op visit, was kind and helpful.
Exceptional Care Provided - Dr. Brantley is not only a highly skilled surgeon, but an empathetic and caring practitioner. He ensured that I received the best outcome and result from my bilateral breast reconstruction. His staff is kind, polite, responsive to questions and concerns, and well trained. I am grateful to Dr. Brantley and his staff for providing me with exceptional care.

What to Expect
There are numerous ways to reconstruct the breasts following cancer or trauma. The first stage in the reconstruction process generally involves the placement of a tissue expander that is inserted within the breast pocket. This deflated expander is used to stretch the skin over a period of time to make room for an implant or fat transfer. From this stage, several techniques may be considered:
- Latissimus Flap Technique
A process that involves transferring tissue from the latissimus dorsi muscle and skin on the back to the breast.
- Implant Placement
Once the expander is in place, saline will be injected into it about every 2 – 3 weeks. Once the appropriate size has been attained, the expander will be replaced with either a silicone or saline implant.
- TRAM Flap Technique
The TRAM (transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous) flap technique is a reconstruction surgery that is performed in two stages. Tissue, muscle, fat, and skin are taken from the lower abdomen and are used to reshape the chest wall, using as much tissue and fat as needed to produce a desired contour. This is an approach for patients who desire an autologous approach and do not wish to not have implants.
It is important to note that nipple reconstruction or other similar procedures will be performed separately.
Anticipated Results
If you will receive chemotherapy after the mastectomy but want to have breast implants, you should talk to your plastic surgeon about scheduling the surgeries around your chemo appointments. These surgeries are still viable options if you are undergoing treatment. Overall, breast reconstruction procudes a long-lasting result, presenting you with a restored bustline for years to come.

Breast Reconstruction FAQs
How much does breast reconstruction surgery cost?
Breast reconstruction surgery can be complicated, so to get great results, you should concentrate on selecting a plastic surgeon who has years of experience and training — over the cheapest price. At your initial consultation, our team will take time to understand your needs and cosmetic goals before creating your custom treatment plan. Then, we can review the costs, options for payment, and low-interest medical financing.
Does insurance cover my surgery?
Enacted in 1998, the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) requires health insurance policies that cover mastectomies to cover reconstruction surgery as well. If you have insurance, a team member at The Face & Body Center will help you understand your policy and benefits. We will also help you submit needed information to your insurance carrier.
What about nipple reconstruction?
Reconstruction of the nipple and areola is usually accomplished using cosmetic tattooing. If you're interested in having your nipple-areola complex tattooed onto your reconstructed breast(s), you should speak with your plastic surgeon during your initial consultation. They will go over your options to help you decide whether you'd like 3D tattooing of the nipple and areola to be included in your treatment plan.
