Reconstructive breast surgery in Washington, D.C.

Surviving breast cancer doesn't have to mean living without one or both breasts. Plastic surgeons can perform reconstructive surgery during a mastectomy or at a later date, after you have completed cancer treatment. Your doctor will discuss your reconstructive options with you, as well as the best timing for those surgeries.
