Reconstruction and Related Services We Offer
Implant Based breast reconstruction
This method rebuilds the breast mound with an implant, creating a fuller, rounded shape after breast tissue has been removed. Implant size and profile are selected to suit your frame and to help balance the reconstructed breast with the opposite side. It is often chosen by women who prefer to avoid an additional surgical site elsewhere on the body.
Tissue Supported breast reconstruction
Our second reconstruction method combines implants with partially harvested tissue from your own body. Using your own tissue can help soften the contour and support a more natural feel. Dr. Mordkovich will review whether this combined approach suits your goals and anatomy.
Breast Implant Removal
Some women decide they no longer want implants, whether placed for cosmetic reasons or a prior procedure. Breast implant removal takes out the implants and allows the chest to be reshaped according to your preferences. We discuss your expectations openly so the outcome reflects what feels right for you.
Breast Reduction Tummy Tuck
This combined procedure addresses overly large breasts and excess abdominal skin in one surgical plan. Reducing breast volume can ease physical strain, while tightening the midsection refines the overall silhouette. It is often chosen by women who want balanced proportions across the upper and lower body.
Axillary Skin Excision
Loose or bulging skin near the underarm can remain after breast surgery or weight changes. Axillary skin excision removes this excess tissue to smooth the area where the chest meets the arm. Many patients find that clothing fits more comfortably afterward.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. It can refine areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and chest to improve body contour. Treatment is tailored to the specific areas you want to address.
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
For patients who prefer to avoid surgery, non-surgical skin tightening helps improve mild laxity. This treatment encourages firmer looking skin with minimal interruption to your routine. It can be a gentle option for refreshing areas that have lost some tone.

FAQ About Breast Reconstruction in Fort Lee, NJ
When is the right time to have breast reconstruction?
There is no set timeline, because the decision depends on how you feel about moving forward. Reconstruction follows a lumpectomy or mastectomy, and many patients choose to wait a few months. All chemotherapy treatments must be completed before surgery.
How long is recovery after breast reconstruction?
Most patients plan for about two to three weeks away from work after surgery. If your reconstruction involves more than one procedure, a similar recovery period follows each stage.
Why does implant reconstruction usually require two procedures?
Implant reconstruction starts with a saline tissue expander that is filled over time to prepare the area. Gradual expansion gives the skin and chest tissue time to stretch comfortably. Once the space is ready, a second procedure replaces the expander with a permanent implant for the final shape.
Which reconstruction method is recommended after chemotherapy?
Implants are the preferred method for patients who have finished chemotherapy. Dr. Mordkovich will also explain whether combining implants with partially harvested tissue could suit your needs.
