Reconstructive Surgery Options

We work closely with trusted plastic and oncoplastic surgeons to provide a range of surgical reconstruction techniques tailored to your body and your treatment plan.

Available options may include:

We monitor and support you through the potential physical and emotional effects of breast cancer treatment, such as:

  • Performed at the time of mastectomy while you are still under anesthesia.

  • Uses your own tissue (often from the abdomen or back) to create natural-looking results.

  • Involves the use of saline or silicone implants, sometimes placed in stages with a tissue expander.

  • Scheduled for after you’ve completed additional treatments like radiation or chemotherapy.

  • Surgical creation of the nipple and areola, with the option for medical tattooing to complete the look.

  • Combines tumor removal with reshaping of the breast for improved cosmetic results and symmetry.

Recovery Support & Physical Therapy

Healing doesn’t end in the operating room. Our recovery support includes:

  • Presurgical baseline measurements

    To help track and prevent issues like lymphedema.

  • Postoperative therapy

    Including range-of-motion exercises, scar tissue care, and support for conditions like “cording.”

  • SOZO Bioimpedance Testing

    A noninvasive way to detect early signs of lymphedema, allowing for proactive treatment.

  • Lymphedema Therapy

    Provided by specialized physical therapists to help reduce swelling and improve mobility and comfort.

Early Lymphedema Detection with SOZO® Technology

We’re proud to be the only provider within 85+ miles offering SOZO bioimpedance spectroscopy—a non-invasive, cutting-edge tool for early detection of lymphedema.

The SOZO device looks like a scale but includes hand and foot sensors. It measures your L-Dex score, which helps identify subtle fluid changes—often before symptoms appear—so we can intervene early and prevent complications.

This level of technology is typically found only at university-level cancer centers.

By offering it here at CVBC, we ensure our patients receive world-class care close to home.
