Breast Reconstruction
Personalized Breast Reconstruction with Dr. Yovino in Beverly Hills
Facing a breast cancer diagnosis and undergoing a mastectomy is one of the most challenging experiences a woman can endure. For many, breast reconstruction offers a pathway to healing—physically, emotionally, and psychologically. At Ideal Face & Body, Dr. Yovino approaches breast reconstruction not just as a surgical procedure, but as a deeply personal journey of restoration and empowerment.
When Is Breast Reconstruction an Option?
Breast reconstruction is most effective and appropriate for patients whose mastectomy has successfully removed cancer and who are otherwise in good health. It’s important to note that certain health conditions, such as smoking or poorly controlled medical issues, may limit candidacy, as these can affect healing and surgical outcomes.
However, for many women, reconstruction is an empowering choice—whether performed immediately following a mastectomy or delayed for a later time. The sooner the process begins, the sooner the emotional and physical recovery can advance. Dr. Yovino is here to guide you through every stage, with compassion and transparency.
A Personalized Approach to Every Reconstruction
Just as every woman’s body and cancer experience is unique, every breast reconstruction is individually tailored. Dr. Yovino takes the time to understand your vision, your comfort level, and your medical needs to design a surgical plan that prioritizes symmetry, softness, natural appearance, and safety.
In your private consultation, Dr. Yovino will:
Review your surgical history and breast cancer treatment timeline
Evaluate your anatomy and tissue condition
Explain reconstruction timing options (immediate vs. delayed)
Outline surgical approaches that best align with your goals
Common Breast Reconstruction Process
One common method involves the use of tissue expanders placed beneath the chest muscle. This is typically done during or shortly after the mastectomy. The steps often include:
Placement of Tissue Expanders
Expanders are inserted beneath the pectoral muscle to begin forming a new breast shape.Gradual Expansion
Over the following weeks, Dr. Yovino will gradually inject saline solution to slowly stretch the tissue until the desired volume is achieved.Exchange Surgery
Once healing is complete and the tissue has adapted, the expander is replaced with a permanent breast implant under general anesthesia. At this stage, the pocket is refined for symmetry and shape.Nipple and Areola Reconstruction
After the breast mound has fully healed and settled, Dr. Yovino can create a nipple and areola, either surgically or with medical tattooing, to complete the natural appearance.
Each phase is performed with the utmost attention to comfort, safety, and aesthetic detail, ensuring the final result is one that restores not just your shape—but your sense of self.
