Breast Reconstruction Procedures
The journey following a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment can be long, emotional, and deeply personal. Many women who undergo a full or partial mastectomy find breast reconstruction to be an important part of the healing process—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Reconstructive surgery can help restore a sense of wholeness, confidence, and identity, allowing women to feel more like themselves again.
Breast reconstruction uses either a prosthetic implant or the patient’s own tissue to recreate the natural contour of the breast. At H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery in Oklahoma City, Dr. Tim R. Love and Dr. Kenny Quang approach each case with compassion, precision, and a commitment to individualized care, ensuring every patient feels supported throughout their journey.
Types of Breast Reconstruction Surgery
There are two primary types of breast and nipple reconstruction procedures, both offered by Dr. Love and Dr. Quang:
Implant-Based Reconstruction
Breast implants are the most common reconstruction option due to their shorter recovery time and reduced trauma to the body. This approach involves placing a breast implant beneath the chest muscle to restore shape and volume.
Tissue Flap Reconstruction
In certain cases—especially for patients who have undergone radiation therapy—implant reconstruction may not be ideal. Tissue flap reconstruction uses the patient’s own skin, fat, and muscle, taken from another area of the body, to rebuild the breast. This method often provides more natural-feeling results and can be especially beneficial when the chest tissue has been damaged or thinned by radiation.
Tissue flap techniques are also useful for adding coverage over implants or fine-tuning the final appearance after a broader reconstruction.

Restoring Symmetry and Balance
Some women undergo mastectomy on only one side, making symmetry a major concern. While natural aging and tissue changes can make perfect symmetry challenging, Oklahoma law guarantees a woman’s right to balanced breast reconstruction.
Dr. Love and Dr. Quang will work closely with you to design a customized treatment plan that may include a combination of procedures such as breast lift (mastopexy), breast reduction, breast augmentation, or fat grafting. The goal is always to create a natural, harmonious result that feels right for your body and your life.
