Restore your sense of wholeness with the best breast reconstruction in New York at New York Group for Plastic Surgery. Led by Dr. Jordan M.S. Jacobs, a board-certified specialist in microsurgical reconstruction, we offer advanced options including DIEP, SIEA, PAP, and implant-based techniques tailored to your needs for natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Direct to Implant
Direct-to-implant breast reconstruction is a single-stage procedure performed after mastectomy. Instead of using a temporary tissue expander, Dr. Jacobs places a permanent implant during the same surgical session. This is ideal for patients with sufficient skin and soft tissue to support an implant, often following a skin- or nipple-sparing mastectomy. Dr. Jacobs customizes your New York breast implant reconstruction through size and placement to achieve a natural shape and balanced proportions.
Autologous Tissue Flap
Autologous tissue flap reconstruction utilizes your body tissue to create a new breast mound, providing a softer, more natural appearance and texture than implants. This approach is well-suited for women seeking a lifelong solution with fewer maintenance procedures. Dr. Jacobs specializes in microsurgical flap techniques, which involve transferring skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from one part of your body, such as the abdomen, thigh, or buttocks, to the chest.

DIEP Flap
The DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforator) flap is one of the most advanced and preferred methods of autologous breast reconstruction. It uses skin and fat from the lower abdomen while preserving the underlying muscle. Dr. Jacobs reconnects blood vessels using microsurgical techniques, ensuring the transferred tissue thrives in its new location. DIEP flap reconstruction offers highly natural results, along with the added benefit of abdominal contouring.

Delayed Diep Flap Reconstruction
For women who have already completed a mastectomy and cancer treatments, delayed DIEP flap reconstruction offers the opportunity to rebuild the breast at a later time. This enables full recovery from initial treatment while still reaping the benefits of natural tissue reconstruction. Though performed in a separate surgical stage, delayed DIEP flap reconstruction delivers the same aesthetic quality and long-term durability as immediate reconstruction.

DUG Flap
Achieve natural-looking breast reconstruction using your own tissue with the diagonal upper gracilis (DUG) flap. This procedure restores breast shape and volume using inner thigh tissue. Dr. Jordan M.S. Jacobs specializes in advanced techniques like the DUG flap to treat breast loss after mastectomy with precision and artistry.

LAP Flap
Restore natural breast shape with advanced LAP flap breast reconstruction. This technique uses excess tissue from the lower back to rebuild the breast after mastectomy, offering a soft, natural result without implants. Dr. Jordan M.S. Jacobs specializes in this innovative approach at New York Group for Plastic Surgery.

PAP Flap
The PAP (profunda artery perforator) flap is an advanced breast reconstruction option for women who lack adequate abdominal tissue or want to avoid using abdominal donor sites. This technique uses skin and fat from the upper inner thigh, just below the buttock crease, without removing any muscle. The result is a soft, natural-looking breast and a refined contour of the inner thigh. However, this is a complex surgery that must only be performed by a specialist.

SGAP Flap
The SGAP (superior gluteal artery perforator) flap uses tissue from the upper buttocks to reconstruct the breast without removing any underlying muscle. It is especially suited for women with limited abdominal or thigh tissue, or for those who have had previous surgeries that make other donor sites less viable. Dr. Jacobs uses microsurgical techniques to reconnect the gluteal tissue to chest vessels, ensuring a robust blood supply and a rounded, youthful breast shape.

SIEA Flap
The SIEA (superficial inferior epigastric artery) flap is a specialized breast reconstruction technique that uses skin and fat from the lower abdomen, similar to the DIEP flap, but without cutting through the abdominal muscles or deeper layers.
Instead, it relies on a superficial blood vessel that, when present, allows for a less invasive harvest of tissue. When feasible, this technique offers quicker recovery, reduced discomfort, and natural-looking results.
