Breast Cancer & Reconstruction
A breast cancer diagnosis can profoundly affect both physical form and emotional well-being. Breast reconstruction offers an opportunity to restore breast shape, symmetry, and a sense of wholeness following mastectomy or lumpectomy—supporting healing well beyond the operating room. Dr. Jeffrey DeSano has a deep personal and professional commitment to breast reconstruction. With breast cancer impacting his own family, he pursued advanced training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery to provide thoughtful, comprehensive care for women navigating this journey. He offers a full spectrum of reconstructive options, utilizing advanced techniques tailored to each patient’s medical needs, anatomy, and personal goals. Every reconstructive plan is approached with sensitivity, precision, and respect for the individual—balancing surgical expertise with compassionate, patient-centered care.
Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy or Lumpectomy

Cosmetic Breast Procedures
Balance. Confidence. Natural Elegance.
Dr. Jeffrey DeSano offers a full spectrum of cosmetic breast procedures designed to enhance volume, restore youthful position, and improve comfort—always with a focus on balance, symmetry, and natural-looking results. Whether patients are seeking refinement, support, or rejuvenation, each surgical plan is carefully customized to reflect individual anatomy, lifestyle, and long-term aesthetic goals. From breast augmentation and lift to breast reduction, every procedure is approached with thoughtful planning, meticulous technique, and an emphasis on results that feel proportional, refined, and authentic.
Breast Reduction
Relief through balance and proportion.
Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a breast size that is better proportioned to the body while relieving physical discomfort such as neck, shoulder, and back pain. The goal is not simply reduction in size, but restoration of balance, comfort, and natural contour.
Dr. DeSano utilizes advanced breast reduction techniques designed to optimize shape and support while minimizing visible scarring. When appropriate, lateral chest liposuction is incorporated to refine the surrounding contours, improve breast framing, and enhance a smooth, feminine silhouette.

-

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Restoring youthful shape and position.
A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue and nipple to a more youthful, elevated position. The result is improved contour, firmness, and balance without changing overall breast size unless combined with augmentation or reduction.

Every surgical plan is carefully customized based on the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals, ensuring results that feel refined, proportional, and uniquely personal.
