Houston Breast Reconstruction

At the Institute of Advanced Breast Reconstruction, we understand that the treatment of breast cancer involves an arduous journey, and we believe that part of this difficult journey should include options to restore oneself after cancer treatment. Whether you or a loved-one is facing a mastectomy or lumpectomy, there are multiple state-of-the-art options for breast restoration.

With advances in reconstructive plastic surgery, breast reconstruction is not only an opportunity to restore oneself after cancer treatment, but for some women, it can be an opportunity to enhance. We can tailor a reconstructive plan to meet the cosmetic goals of each individual patient, whether it entails a rejuvenating breast lift, reduction, or augmentation. And the good news is that ALL of these options are covered by your insurance.
