Patients who have undergone previous implant-based breast reconstruction often suffer from complications like an excessive pain, or weakness. This is often a result of having the implants sub-muscularly. Pre-pectoral breast reconstruction can substitute biological mesh products (called acellular dermal matrices) for muscle to protect, cover, and support a patient’s implants.
The doctors at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery consider various factors when deciding on the technique that will give you the best results. These factors include your specific cancer diagnosis, planned adjuvant therapy, whether to use implants or tissue for the reconstruction, and more.

“I had a great experience with Dr. Bruno. I had to have cosmetic work after a breast cancer diagnosis and at the same time as a partial mastectomy. I am very happy with the result and my experience there. He did a terrific job and he couldn’t have been nicer. He even returned one of my calls at 9 pm at night. And his office is well run and the staff are friendly and efficient. I highly recommend.”
— Kathleen G.“I had a double mastectomy, received chemotherapy and radiation therapy and a year after had delayed breast reconstruction (Latissimus Dorsi flap) performed by Dr. Coleman Brown. I am extremely happy with the outcome and the way I look. I don’t only recommend Dr. Brown because of how talented he is but, also for having an amazing bedside manner.”
