The board certified plastic surgeons of the Breast Reconstruction Center of NYC (located in Manhattan, New York) are top experts in the highly specialized field of breast reconstruction with breast implants. The most common types of breast reconstruction are those that utilize breast implants (the same as used in cosmetic breast augmentation) and those that use existing body fat for volume.
Please note – insurance may cover your breast implant based reconstruction surgery: The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 is a federal law requiring any insurance company covering a mastectomy (mastectomies) to also cover all stages of breast reconstruction, including surgery of the unaffected breast in order to produce a symmetrical appearance, as well as coverage for prostheses and treatment of physical complications. This applies to implant-based reconstruction as well as reconstruction using your body’s own tissues, regardless of whether these procedures are performed at the time of mastectomy or at a later date. We will work closely with you and your insurance company to make sure you receive the full benefits to which you are entitled.
