Breast reconstruction at Southwest is centered on precision, planning, and options. Many patients come to us after being told they have limited choices. Our role is to revisit that conversation with deeper evaluation and advanced techniques, so your reconstruction reflects your body and your priorities—not someone else’s limitations.

1/3
Kari came in expecting a straightforward augmentation and left that day with a breast cancer diagnosis. What followed were years of discomfort and reconstruction attempts that never felt right. When she arrived at Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, the conversation changed. Her surgeons listened, studied her history, and built a staged plan to restore softness, symmetry, and comfort. For the first time in years, she could talk about her chest without bracing herself.

Heather knew from the start she didn’t want implants. She wanted a solution that honored her body and her instincts. In consultation, she learned how her own tissue could be used to rebuild natural shape and feel. With clear explanations and a surgeon who respected her boundaries, she chose autologous reconstruction and moved forward with a chest that looked like her—not a compromise.

Sophia had already been through cancer once. She arrived with specific questions, a sharp memory of what didn’t work before, and a need for someone to take her seriously. Her surgeon walked through each option, mapped out timing, and tailored reconstruction around her priorities for sensation, symmetry, and long-term balance. The final result wasn’t just about appearance; it restored a sense of control.
For patients in Peoria and the Northwest Valley, Southwest Breast & Aesthetics serves as a referral point for complex breast reconstruction surgery.
Many arrive after being told their case is “too difficult” or “standard.” Here, those cases are the work we do every week. Autologous reconstruction, implant-based options, and revisions are all planned with the same principle: protect function, respect form, and create results that hold up over time.
Using lower abdominal skin and fat, the DIEP flap rebuilds the breast with natural tissue while preserving muscle. For qualified patients, it offers softness, warmth, and contour that ages with your body. It’s often ideal for women seeking to move away from implants or wanting a more stable reconstruction.
DIEP FlapWhen the abdomen isn’t an option, the PAP flap uses tissue from the upper inner thigh to recreate volume and shape. It can be a strong choice for athletic builds or patients with prior abdominal surgery. The goal: symmetry, durability, and a result that feels like a natural extension of your frame.
PAP FlapComposite stacked flaps combine tissue from more than one donor site for patients who need additional volume or have limited tissue in a single area. It’s meticulous work, often reserved for higher-complexity cases—and one more example of how planning can open doors where options once felt closed.
Composite Stacked FlapSecond-stage procedures refine what was started: shaping, contouring, implant exchanges, symmetry adjustments, nipple-areola work, and scar revision. These steps are not an afterthought; they’re integral to feeling finished when you look in the mirror and when you dress.
Second StageFor patients with BRCA and similar mutations, reconstruction is part of a preventive plan. We coordinate with your breast surgeon and oncology team to time surgery, preserve options, and create breasts that feel intentional—not like a reaction.
Hereditary BreastNipple reconstruction and areolar tattooing can provide visual completion after mastectomy. Small technical decisions here—projection, position, color—carry real emotional weight. We walk through options so you can choose what feels right.
Nipple ReconstructionFor some patients, implant-based reconstruction is the preferred or most appropriate path. With careful pocket creation, implant selection, and symmetry planning, implants can restore shape in a way that feels stable and balanced. Many Peoria patients come to us for both primary and revision implant reconstructions.
Implant ReconstructionWhen implants cause discomfort, capsular contracture, or simply no longer align with your goals, explant surgery offers a reset. We remove implants with precision, address the capsule when indicated, and talk through natural-tissue, lift, or fat grafting options to rebuild contour thoughtfully.

Concierge Medicine In Peoria
Healing well requires more than surgical skill. For Peoria patients, we help organize the details that often become stress points: where to stay, when to move, what to wear, how to manage drains, and when to get back behind the wheel. Our team offers clear written instructions, direct lines of communication, and follow-up schedules that make recovery feel structured and supported. The goal is simple: you rest; we keep watch.
Reconstruction may address diagnosis; aesthetics refines how you move through the rest of your life. For patients in Peoria who want subtle, smart enhancements, our aesthetic services extend the same thoughtful planning to breast and body contour.
Targeted liposuction and selective skin-tightening can recalibrate proportions after weight shifts, pregnancy, or reconstruction. We study how your shape presents from all angles and build a plan that complements, not competes with, past surgeries.
Explore Body ContouringA tummy tuck repairs muscle separation when present, reduces lax skin, and shapes the waistline. For patients with prior flap surgery or C-section history, incision placement and blood supply are considered in advance, not in the moment. The aim is a flatter, stronger midsection that fits your frame.
Explore Tummy TuckFor aesthetic augmentation, sizing and shape are never guessed. We use detailed measurements, implant trials, and discussion about lifestyle and clothing to guide decisions. The implants, pocket, and profile are chosen to support long-term comfort, not trends.
Explore Breast AugmentationExplant is often about relief and clarity. We remove implants carefully and discuss how to restore shape with a lift, fat grafting, or flap-based options if desired. Many patients appreciate having a full range of choices, especially when coming from previous surgeries that felt limited.
Explore Breast ExplantationA lift refines the silhouette by elevating the nipple, removing excess skin, and restoring projection. Scars are placed with intention and managed with clear aftercare. Over time, swelling eases, lines soften, and the breast settles into a shape that feels more at home on your body.
Explore Breast LiftFeedback from our patients speaks to the experience as much as the outcome: feeling heard, having options explained, and waking up with results that match what was discussed. Patients from Peoria and across Arizona share how expertise and empathy can exist in the same room.
