An Overview of Breast Reconstruction Surgery After Breast Cancer

Levine Cancer Institute’s Dr. Nick Clavin discusses breast reconstruction after a mastectomy or lumpectomy.

Following breast cancer surgery, patients can choose to have reconstructive surgery that rebuilds the shape and look of their breasts. Dr. Clavin, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute, explains the types and timing of breast reconstruction surgery, as well as special considerations for young women.

The Sandra Levine Young Women’s Breast Cancer Program at Levine Cancer Institute offers specialized care, resources, and support for women under 40 with breast cancer.
