Breast reconstruction

Breast reconstruction after cancer

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is one of the most meaningful surgeries I perform. Its goal is a natural-looking breast, similar in shape to the other, so you do not need external prostheses, can wear the clothes you want and recover your body image.

Almost every woman who has had a mastectomy can have reconstruction. It can be done in the same surgery in which the tumor is removed (immediate reconstruction), so you wake up with a breast contour, or later (delayed reconstruction), when you prefer to focus on your treatment first or when the technique or your health makes it advisable.

I use different techniques depending on your case: implants, tissue expanders that prepare the skin for an implant, or flaps using tissue from your own body, such as the back or abdomen. Finally, if you wish, the areola and nipple are reconstructed. At your consultation I explain the options calmly, so you go into surgery with clear information.

Most insurers cover breast reconstruction, so you can use your health insurance for all or part of the treatment. I help you with the reports they require.

Dr. José Daza is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, with current Board certification no. 1477.

I operate in certified hospitals with the highest safety standards, because a harmonious result starts with safe surgery.

“It has been 9 days since my Mommy Makeover with Dr. José Daza Flores. The nursing and spa team are wonderful: they made me feel calm the whole time. The massages are not the typical painful massage other people describe. Many thanks to Brenda, Imelda, Alberto, Rosario and Dr. Daza. 100% recommended! ❤️”

“From the very beginning, Dr. José Daza took the time to listen to what was important to me and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. His attention to detail and calm, professional presence made a world of difference. His team was just as incredible: compassionate, attentive, and genuinely caring. Nurse Imelda stood out with her kindness and reachouts throughout the process, and a special thank you to Brenda for her exceptional post-op massages, which made my recovery more comfortable. Highly recommend!”
Maureena J.
“From the very beginning, Dr. Daza stood out not just for his professionalism, but for the kindness and genuine care he shows to every single patient. After a deeply disappointing experience with another doctor, Dr. Daza was honest with me from day one and helped restore my confidence too. I initially came for a rhinoplasty, and later returned to have him correct the previous work. From the nurses and assistants to the spa team, his entire staff creates an atmosphere that feels safe, warm, and supportive. Thank you, Dr. Daza, for everything you've done for me.”
Nadine P.
“3 months after my gluteal implant surgery. I spent almost a month looking for a surgeon with experience in gluteal implants, and I was lucky to find Dr. Daza: he did an amazing job, with just one incision between the glutes, so you don't see the scar at all. A great thing is that Dr. Daza operates in his own clinic, so you always know where to go. Big thank you to the front desk girls and all the nurses, especially Imelda and Brenda; I felt at home. Definitely recommend Dr. Daza and his team.”
Dmitry G.
“Always the best care from everyone: the nursing team always attentive, the reception staff always very kind, the massage therapist outstanding and very professional, very careful so you don't feel pain, and above all the doctor, excellent and very experienced; he always understands the results you are looking for without neglecting any detail to protect your health. I recommend them 1000% 🫶”
Beatriz M. · Translated from Spanish
“My experience with Dr. Daza and his whole team has been excellent. From the very first moment I felt incredible human warmth and professionalism. Every member of the team, in every area, is attentive, kind and very professional; they make you feel safe and supported at all times. I want to highlight the lovely care from Brenda, Zara and Alberto, wonderful and professional people. I recommend Dr. Daza 100%: he is an excellent surgeon, highly trained and a great leader, which shows in his great team.”
