Breast Reconstruction

Why Breast Reconstruction?

All women undergoing mastectomy should be offered breast reconstruction. Building a breast restores a feeling of wholeness and has been shown to be associated with improved patient satisfaction and psychological wellbeing. Whether you are getting a mastectomy or have undergone one in the past and are flat chested, a breast mount can be recreated using implants (called Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction) or with your own tissues (called Autologous Breast Reconstruction).

What Conditions Can Breast Reconstruction Treat?

Breast Reconstruction at the time of Mastectomy (Immediate Breast Reconstruction)
Breast Reconstruction in woman who is flat chested and had a previous Mastectomy (Delayed Breast Reconstruction)
Patients with Implants who want to remove their implants and build a breast with their own tissues (Explant and DIEP Flap Reconstruction).

What Can You Expect Before Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

Dr. Stein will speak to you at length about your breast cancer history to get a better understanding of what options are available to you. He will then describe each option in detail to you and together you will come up with a plan. Dr. Stein had developed a reputation amongst his patients for exceptional patient care. He will be by your side every step of the way.

What Is the Recovery Like for Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

Recovery is patient specific. Dr. Stein will use long-acting numbing solution during your surgery. Tylenol, Advil and Hydromorphone will be prescribed. You can shower over your incisions 2 days after surgery. If you underwent breast reconstruction with a flap you will stay in hospital for 3 days for monitoring. If you underwent breast reconstruction with implants you will go home the same day as surgery. Exercise can start 4 weeks after surgery once Dr. Stein confirms that your scars are healing well.

What Is the Cost of Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

Breast Reconstruction after Mastectomy is covered by Insurance. Please call Dr. Steins Office to inquire about accepted insurance carriers at his practice.

Dr. Stein is everything you’d want your surgeon to be - thorough, knowledgeable, caring and absolutely meticulous about making sure every detail is just right. I felt very comfortable, and he took great care of me.

Samantha

From my first encounter through to follow up post surgery, my experience was positive. Dr Stein’s self-confidence, kindness and professionalism put my anxieties to rest. His follow up is superb and he gives his patients his time and attention without making them feel he is in a hurry. The procedure which I had been dreading turned out to be far less traumatic than I had anticipated. I would highly recommend him!

Hilary

I recently saw Dr. Stein for an elective cosmetic visit. He took his time to listen and thoroughly evaluate me. Throughout the procedure, his attention to detail and skill was excellent. You can tell he is a perfectionist, exactly what you’d want in your plastic surgeon. I’m so happy with my result and can’t recommend him enough!

Alyssa

I am so grateful for Dr. Stein. I had an absolutely wonderful experience with him. Not only do I look amazing, I feel happier than I ever could’ve imagined. He’s a perfectionist and his work is absolutely flawless, but more importantly he is honest and genuine.

Andrea

I met Dr. Stein after moving from California a couple of years ago as I was interviewing plastic surgeons to both perform surgery as well as to administer injectables. After meeting with several other surgeons, it was an easy decision. Dr. Stein has performed surgery on both my face and breasts, and has administered injectables on several occasions throughout the last couple of years. In addition to being an excellent surgeon and having an amazing aesthetic, Dr. Stein imbues the rare qualities of honesty, ethics, compassion and kindness in addition to his surgical excellence. I could go on and on, but needless to say, I recommend him without reservation for any procedure, both on the face as well as the body. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Bridget

The office is gorgeous and the staff & Dr. Stein are incredible. Very competent, accommodating, pleasant, with great follow up-- couldn't ask for more. Extremely happy with results I had from a procedure here. I am a physician and have sent many colleagues & friends here personally for the wonderful experience. Manhattan has countless plastic surgeons so it's tough to know where to go; you will not regret coming to this office for your aesthetic/cosmetic needs.

He and his staff were attentive, professional, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. What really stood out was how they checked on me even after surgery — I felt truly cared for. Amazing results and an overall great experience. I highly recommend him !!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had surgery twice before I met dr stein and I was horrified with the results.    I met with dr Stein and I instantly knew this was going to  be different he truly cares and listens to all your concerns. I had a breast reduction and lift on asymmetry breast a month ago if I tell you, he went above and beyond my expectations minimal pain, and bruising , I trust Dr Stein so much that I am here a month later ,   two days, postop  from a upper Bleph feeling great.  I cannot recommend dr Stein.  enough, one thing that really stands out is that I have his personal cell phone number and I could reach him at any time as well as his email. Dr steins team is the best, his nurses are so caring and has  so much patience., Emily his coordinator  was so sweet  and goes beyond to help I would recommend Dr Stein 1,000 percent Michele

I truly appreciated the time you took to answer all of my questions thoughtfully and to explain each step of the process in such clear, thorough detail. Although I arrived feeling very nervous, your calm and reassuring demeanor immediately put me at ease. You created an environment where I felt heard, supported, and fully informed. Thank you for your professionalism, patience, and the exceptional care you showed throughout my visits. I would highly recommend you to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate surgeon.
