Dr. Felder's Thoughts on Breast Reconstruction

Facing breast cancer is emotionally and physically overwhelming. Beyond the fear of diagnosis and treatment, women undergoing mastectomy must also confront the possibility of losing a part of themselves — a change that can deeply impact body image, identity, and intimacy.


Breast reconstruction is your right, not a requirement. It’s covered by insurance and available to every woman who wants it — but no one should feel pressured. The decision is deeply personal and should come in your own time. 


If you choose breast reconstruction - you need a perfectionist to give you long term satisfaction.  I am focused not on volume, but on delivering outstanding, customized results.  Scroll down to see stories of women who chose reconstruction.
