Compassionate, Personalized Breast Reconstruction Care
Every woman’s journey through breast cancer is different, and so is her path to healing. Dr. Cece believes that reconstruction is not one-size-fits-all.

Breast Reconstruction Options Offered by Dr. Cece
Dr. Cece offers a comprehensive suite of breast reconstruction procedures designed to suit a wide range of needs.
Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction
A common and practical choice, implant-based reconstruction uses saline or silicone implants to recreate breast volume and shape. Dr. Cece offers both direct-to-implant and tissue expander-based approaches, allowing for flexibility in timing and outcomes.
Autologous Breast Reconstruction
This technique uses the patient’s tissue—typically from the abdomen, back, or thighs—to rebuild the breast. Dr. Cece is highly skilled in flap procedures that result in natural texture and feel, particularly beneficial for women seeking a non-implant-based solution.
Microvascular Breast Reconstruction
Also known as free flap reconstruction, microvascular procedures like the DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforator) or TRAM (transverse rectus abdominis muscle) flap involve reconnecting tiny blood vessels under a microscope. Dr. Cece’s expertise in microvascular surgery makes this advanced option safer and more precise, reducing recovery time and maximizing outcomes.
Delayed Breast Reconstruction
Not all patients are candidates for immediate reconstruction. In these cases, Dr. Cece performs delayed breast reconstruction once cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation are complete. This approach provides flexibility and allows the body to heal fully before surgery.
Revision Breast Reconstruction
For women who’ve had unsatisfactory results from a previous breast reconstruction, Dr. Cece offers revision surgery to correct asymmetry, implant issues, scarring, or other complications. His focus is on restoring balance, comfort, and renewed confidence.
