Medical Weight Loss
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the volume and shape of the breast, either after loss of fullness from breastfeeding and weight loss, or limited development at puberty. This is accomplished by insertion of medical devices called breast implants.
Rheumatology
In 1992, the FDA took silicone implants off the market because a number of complaints of implants being associated with a group of disorders called connective tissue diseases, or autoimmune diseases. These conditions involve the body essentially attacking itself by way of its own immune system. After thorough independent review by the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine, and independent statements by the American College of Rheumatology and the American Academy of Neurology, it was determined that there is no scientific evidence to demonstrate an association between silicone implants and systemic autoimmune or neurologic diseases. As a result, silicone implants were made available to the general public again in 2006.

MRI
How does an implant rupture? Wrinkling is inherent as the implant settles with gravity, which may be visible in some thin patients. With time, the repetitive rubbing of the implant wall will create “fold flaws,” which are weakened, thinned areas in the implant wall. As the wall weakens, any trauma such as a car accident to even a routine mammogram can be enough force to facilitate an impending rupture. Saline implants simply deflate when ruptured. If a silicone implant ruptures, the gel will remain within the capsule. If the capsule tears from a traumatic event, the immune system may react to the now “free gel” by forming either granulomas, evidenced as lumps, or enlarging lymph nodes in the axilla. For these reasons, any rupture of the implant, even a “silent rupture” that is not bothering you, requires another surgery to either replace or remove the implant. Even if one side is affected, sometimes it is beneficial to replace or remove both sides to maintain symmetry (evenness). As a result, the implant companies require MRI surveillance of silicone filled implants starting at 3 years after your initial surgery, and every other year thereafter. There may be additional costs involved for the MRIs.
Mammography
Mammography is still the best mode of screening for women with breast implants. With implants, technicians will need to displace (move) your implants and take extra views (not significant, but added radiation) to better visualize your breast tissue. Implants WILL decrease the amount of breast tissue that can be seen by a radiologist, the degree of which depends on whether the implants are subglandular or subpectoral, and whether or not you have capsular contracture. Subpectoral implants interfere least with visualization as long as there is no capsular contracture. On the other hand, women with breast implants are able to feel lumps that are smaller in size than their counterparts without implants. This may explain why studies have shown that there is NO difference in the severity or outcome of breast cancer in women with implants compared to women without implants.
Chemotherapy
At your diagnosis, you probably had a biopsy, and now require either a lumpectomy or mastectomy. Even if you require chemotherapy after your initial surgery, immediate reconstruction is possible. However, if radiation therapy is part of your treatment plan, we recommend delayed reconstruction for the following reason. A tissue expander that is in place during radiation may interfere with accurate targeting of the lesion to be treated, due to the magnet inside the expander. In some instances, radiation oncologists have asked us to remove the tissue expander during radiation therapy. If a flap reconstruction is performed, the new healthy tissue that is brought in from elsewhere is now subjected to the same radiation beams that are targeting the cancer and cause damage. This damage manifests as thickening of the skin, called fibrosis, and eventual shrinkage of the flap. This is good for the cancer, but not for the reconstructed breast. As a result, further surgeries may be necessary to restore the size and contour of the reconstruction to match the other side. All forms of breast reconstruction can be performed in an immediate or delayed fashion.
Radiation Therapy
When you are diagnosed with breast cancer, we understand that you may be overwhelmed by all the decisions you are expected to make all at once. Of highest importance is to control the cancer according to your medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists’ recommendations. Reconstruction is not any less important, but must not interfere with your cancer treatment. While it is easy to just go with what seems like the simplest and quickest option, we encourage you to take some time to learn more about your reconstructive options. If radiation therapy is not part of your initial treatment plan, your best opportunity for an optimal reconstruction is at the time of your cancer surgery, termed “immediate reconstruction.” Reconstruction that is performed after your cancer treatment has been completed is called “delayed reconstruction.” A well planned reconstruction at the outset, even in multiple stages, will minimize your need for future reoperations.

General Surgery
A native Midwesterner, Dr. Huang first came to Southern California upon acceptance into the integrated General Surgery-Plastic Surgery residency program at Loma Linda University Medical Center. She completed her undergraduate and medical studies through a combined B.S./M.D. program at Northeastern Ohio Medical University (formerly known as Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine). She is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society.
Reconstructive Surgery
After starting practice and taking some time off to start a family, Dr. Huang returned to the Midwest for more training and completed a fellowship in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the breast under the tutelage of world renowned Dr. Dennis Hammond. Dr. Huang currently makes Thousand Oaks her home with her husband, also a physician, and their two young children.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Liposuction
Liposuction reduction is an excellent option for younger patients with minimal enlargement. This technique does not address stretched out skin or sagginess.
Breast Augmentation
The degree of skin stretch you have of the breast (the “skin envelope”) will determine how much volume it will accommodate. Often women want to achieve more cleavage. This depends on the position of your breasts on your chest wall. Even with a significant breast augmentation, it is possible that you would be unable to have cleavage.
Breast Reduction
You may benefit from breast reduction if you have enlarged, heavy breasts and any combination of the following symptoms: neck pain, back pain, breast pain, shoulder pain, shoulder grooving, rash under the breasts, and numbness or tingling of the arms or hands. You may have tried specialty fitted bras, physical therapy, and chiropractic care without relief of your symptoms.
Breast Lift
The periareolar incision is a half circle incision along the lower border of the areola, or pigmented skin around the nipple. This incision stays fairly well hidden, but may not be an option for patients with a naturally small areola because it will not be large enough to insert a silicone implant. A saline implant would be possible in such a case because it is deflated at the time of insertion. This incision is also a good approach especially when an implant is being placed in conjunction with a breast lift.
Breast Reconstruction
This method of breast reconstruction is what most women refer to as the tummy tuck operation. Indeed, this procedure is very similar to the cosmetic tummy tuck procedure, where an ellipse of excess skin from the belly is removed. The difference is that the tissue that is removed in reconstruction remains attached to the underlying rectus muscle to provide blood supply, thus called the Transverse Rectus Abdominis Muscle flap. This tissue is then rotated upwards onto the chest to contour into a breast. It is very rare to use an implant in conjunction with this flap.
Plastic Surgery
Microsurgery has revolutionized the field of plastic surgery by opening up a whole new realm of possible donor sites. The breast can thus be reconstructed not just from the the back or TRAM flap, but also the buttocks via the superior gluteal artery flap or portions of the abdomen via the deep inferior epigastric artery or superficial inferior epigastric artery flaps. This type of reconstruction involves the complete removal of the donor site tissue from your body and reattachment of blood vessels using the microscope into the desired location. For the breast, this usually involves removal of part of your rib to access a recipient blood vessel to be attached to the flap. Once the tissue has been successfully attached, the contouring of the breast is performed the same way as in the latissimus and TRAM flaps described above.
Breast Surgery
When your breast is removed at the time of the mastectomy, the overlying skin can be preserved in what is called a “skin sparing mastectomy.” This is the preferred method when undergoing immediate breast reconstruction to preserve as much soft tissue cover as possible. Your surgeon only goes as deep as your pectoralis major muscle. This muscle provides the perfect covering for a future implant, the same kind that is used in cosmetic breast surgery. Because the tissues require some time to adequately stretch without harming their blood supply, a tissue expander is inserted initially rather than an implant to allow the stretching to occur over a period of a few months. The tissue expander is a shaped device with a magnetic port that we can access through your skin in the office to fill every two weeks. Once you reach a desired size, we choose the best sized implant for you and insert that implant at a second stage procedure six months from the time of your initial surgery. The final and third stage of the procedure involves nipple and areola reconstruction, which will be discussed later. Except for the first procedure, which requires an overnight stay due to the mastectomy, the subsequent stages are performed as outpatient surgeries with downtime of only a couple weeks each.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
At the initial surgery, the muscle flaps are borrowed from your back, leaving a scar along the natural skin lines of the back. The scar can be left along the bra line, but because it does not follow the natural skin lines, the scar that results is usually widened and aesthetically inferior to the other option. The flap is then buried in your armpit and brought out in the front to contour into a breast. Most patients require more volume than is provided for by the latissimus flap, so a tissue expander is placed at the same time. Sometimes the nipple and areolar reconstruction can be performed at this first stage. Drains are left in place in the breast as well as the back. The back drain may stay as long as 4 weeks. We encourage physical therapy during this time to reeducate your lymphatics to drain properly and minimize the drainage into the drains. Recovery from this surgery can take six weeks. The initial hospital stay is usually two days.
