Implants are not your only option. Flap reconstruction uses your body’s own tissue to create results that look and feel natural, supporting a gentler recovery, sustained physical strength, and an early return to your active lifestyle.
Our surgeons are internationally recognized for advancing flap-based techniques that prioritize both form and function. Every treatment plan is developed with your individual goals, anatomy, and recovery in mind.
Your surgical options include:
Your Breast Reconstruction Options

How can I find out if my insurance covers treatment?
The Center for Restorative Breast Surgery is contracted with many of the nation’s leading health insurance companies and serves as an in-network provider for several major plans.
Under federal law, insurance plans that cover mastectomy are also required to cover breast reconstruction. Our team has extensive experience working with insurers and will help you understand your benefits, submit documentation, and address any prior or current coverage issues.
Below are some of the insurance providers we work with:
Confidence Begins With Knowledge
If your plan isn’t shown here, we encourage you to contact us. Our insurance contracts are updated regularly, and in many cases, coverage can be facilitated with the right documentation and guidance from our staff.
I don’t live nearby. Can you help with travel arrangements?
Many patients travel from across the country and around the world to receive specialized care at the Center. To support those traveling for surgery, we offer personalized assistance with every aspect of the journey.
Crystal, our dedicated travel coordinator, works directly with patients and their families to arrange flights, hotel accommodations, local transportation, meals, and more. Her role is to make the process as stress-free as possible, allowing you to focus fully on your care and recovery.
Patient Care Navigator
“I traveled from Montana to New Orleans by myself for the procedure. I never felt alone. Everyone made me feel at home. I felt safe and knew what would take place. I trusted that everyone understood my needs and would do what was best for me.”
