Facing a lumpectomy can feel overwhelming, but you should know that beautiful, natural-looking results are within reach. At Zampell Plastic Surgery, serving Beverly Hills and Torrance, Dr. Jamie Zampell offers expert lumpectomy reconstruction designed to restore not just the breast's appearance, but also your confidence and well-being.
Understanding Lumpectomy Reconstruction
A lumpectomy is often recommended for early-stage breast cancer, removing the tumor while preserving much of the breast tissue. However, the accompanying radiation can sometimes leave the breast with scarring, distortion, or unevenness. This is where lumpectomy reconstruction comes in. Dr. Zampell uses advanced, personalized techniques to correct these concerns, restoring an elegant breast contour and a sense of harmony.
Techniques Tailored to You
Every woman's body is unique, and so is every reconstruction plan. Dr. Zampell may recommend autologous reconstruction, which uses tissue from your own body. Common options include:
- DIEP flap: This method uses skin and fat from the lower abdomen without sacrificing muscle, providing a natural look and feel.
- SIEA flap: Similar to the DIEP, this approach uses abdominal tissue but relies on a different blood vessel, offering another muscle-sparing option.
- PAP flap: Tissue is harvested from the inner thigh, making it an excellent choice for women without enough abdominal tissue.
- Local flaps: Techniques such as TDAP or ICAP flaps take tissue from the lateral chest wall or back, ideal for correcting localized defects.
- Fat grafting: Fat is gently transferred from another body area to smooth irregularities and refine the breast shape for a seamless result.
The ultimate goal? Achieving improved symmetry, natural softness, and a restored sense of self. With her artistic eye and technical mastery, Dr. Zampell designs results that reflect your aesthetic goals and anatomical needs.
Personalized Planning for Lumpectomy Patients
Every lumpectomy patient has a unique story, body, and vision for their reconstruction. Dr. Zampell prioritizes customized treatment planning, taking into account your anatomy, previous radiation treatment, donor tissue availability, and personal goals. She carefully explains which options, such as autologous flaps or fat grafting, will best suit your situation and works with you to create a strategy that restores both form and confidence.
By offering a deeply individualized approach, Dr. Zampell ensures that no two reconstructions are alike and that each patient receives care designed specifically for their journey toward healing and renewal.
