Reconstruction With Nerve Preservation

Advanced techniques designed to support sensory pathways.

Nerve preservation reconstruction incorporates specialized surgical techniques aimed at protecting sensory nerves during breast reconstruction. When possible, these techniques may support improved sensation over time.

Implant reconstruction offers a predictable, streamlined option for patients who prefer implants or who may not be candidates for natural tissue reconstruction.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

  • Are undergoing breast reconstruction

  • Are interested in sensory-focused surgical techniques

  • Are a candidate based on anatomy and treatment history

A consultation is essential to determine the safest approach and implant type based on your anatomy, treatment history, and goals.


The Surgical Approach

During reconstruction, specific nerves are identified and preserved when feasible. In some cases, nerve grafting techniques may also be used to enhance sensory recovery.
