Breast Reconstruction
Dr. Markov has extensive experience in breast reconstruction, including specialized surgical techniques to rebuild the breast while minimizing scarring and reducing the risk of complications. With a speciality in restoration of sensitivity to the breast and nipple, Dr. Markov helps patients by carefully repairing nerve damage. This process typically requires several procedures that are performed in stages for the best outcome.

Implant Reconstruction
Using breast implants is one option for reconstruction after a mastectomy. The breast implant replaces the breast tissue removed during a mastectomy, restoring shape and volume.
Oncoplastic Lumpectomy Reconstruction
This surgical procedure combines removal of cancerous tissue with cosmetic plastic surgery to restore the breast shape and minimize scar appearance.
Autologous Breast Reconstruction
Autologous breast reconstruction utilizes tissue from a different area of the body, such as the abdomen, buttock, back, or thigh, to create a natural look and feel without the use of breast implants.
Revision of Reconstruction
A breast reconstruction revision improves the outcome of a previous procedure, aiming to correct issues such as asymmetry, complications, scarring, or discomfort.
Post-Mastectomy Breast Resensation
A mastectomy can affect the nerves that provide feeling in the breasts and nipples, leading to numbness. Post-mastectomy breast resensation is a specialized procedure that reconnects the nerves to rebuild connections and restore sensation.
