View 6 of 6This 47-year-old BRCA1+ breast cancer survivor is shown 1 year after double mastectomy and implant reconstruction as well as nipple/areolar reconstruction by Dr. John Layliev in Long Island, NY. Her mastectomy was designed to give her a lift at the same time using an advanced technique. Immediately following mastectomy, temporary implants (tissue expanders) were used which allowed gradual enlargement of the reconstructed breasts over time to a size our patient desired. The tisse expanders were later replaced with permanent smooth 560 and 605cc silicone breast implants. The nipple and areola complex was then reconstructed using a signature technique that uses her own skin, allowing the nipples to look and feel real with actual texture. No nipple or areola tattoo was used in this case. She is thrilled with her natural looking and feeling results.
