Breast Reconstruction in Jacksonville & Fleming Island, FL

Losing one or both breasts to cancer or other trauma is a devastating reality for many women. Breast reconstruction performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Timothy E. Fee, MD, is an opportunity to restore and rebuild breasts to a normal (or desired) shape and size. Coastal Cosmetic Center offers breast reconstruction to women in or around the surrounding communities in North Florida and throughout the world.

What is Breast Reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that utilizes remaining breast tissue or donor tissue, as well as breast implants, to restore a woman’s breasts following mastectomy. Breast reconstruction is used to create the natural female contours to help regain femininity and confidence.

What is Illusio (Breast) Imaging?

Illusio is a virtual 3D breast augmentation and simulator app. Dr. Fee utilizes this computer imaging technology to give you an impression of what your breasts and overall appearance will look like following your breast surgery. Illusio combines a 3D image of what your breasts will look like based on your implant selection along with a live image of your face and body. Together, you are able to see what your breast surgery results will look like in real time. This helps to eliminate stress and anxiety that often accompany plastic surgery.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Reconstruction?

After struggling with the traumatic circumstances associated with mastectomy, breast reconstruction offers the following benefits:

• Creates a breast that comes close to a natural appearance and feel
• Eliminates the need for any prosthetic devices
• Allows for better fit in clothing
• Rebuilds confidence

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Breast Reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction is ideal for any women who has lost one or both breasts due to a cancer diagnosis. Candidates should have adequate breast tissue or donor tissue to reconstruct the breasts.

Coastal Cosmetic Center also performs delayed breast reconstruction surgery—after the mastectomy has healed—in their nationally accredited on-site surgery center, Coastal Surgery Center, located in Jacksonville, FL.
