Full-Service Wellness and Plastic Surgery in the Heart of Beverly Hills since 2003.
Breast reconstruction surgery restores the shape of the breasts after mastectomy, lumpectomy, or trauma. This procedure rebuilds the breast using implants, natural tissue, or a combination of both, depending on your anatomy and preferences. At The Practice Healthcare, our surgeons approach reconstruction by restoring both your comfort and confidence.

Why Choose The Practice Healthcare
Founded by Dr. Lisa Cassileth, The Practice Healthcare is built on a foundation of compassion and patient-first care. Our philosophy prioritizes your well-being from your consultation appointment to your post-op appointment. Each reconstructive plan is developed with your utmost comfort and confidence in mind.
Our Approach to Breast Reconstruction
Our reconstructive surgeons, Dr. Killeen and Dr. Cassileth, specialize in both implant-based and natural tissue reconstruction. Dr. Cassileth is a pioneer in the field, having developed the groundbreaking Direct-to-Implant technique and the SWIM Flap procedure, both of which have redefined modern breast reconstruction. During your consultation, they evaluate your goals, anatomy, and medical history to determine the best approach, whether that is immediate reconstruction performed during mastectomy or delayed reconstruction after recovery. Our fat grafting techniques can also allow for refined shaping and softness, while our focus on symmetry ensures results that look and feel natural.
What to Expect: The Breast Reconstruction Experience
Your treatment begins with a private consultation in our Beverly Hills office. Your surgeon, Dr. Killeen or Dr. Cassileth, will review your surgical history, treatment plan, and personal goals to determine the right reconstructive technique for you. Breast reconstruction surgery is performed in our accredited surgical center with advanced safety protocols and attentive post-operative care.
Recovery varies depending on the method used. Implant-based reconstruction typically involves a shorter recovery, while natural tissue reconstruction may require additional healing time. Throughout your recovery, our team provides consistent follow-up and support to ensure comfort, safety, and optimal results.
