Dr. Tandon Has a Reputation For Exemplary Breast Reconstruction Surgery
Dr. Tandon strives to earn your confidence with his training, techniques, and true compassion. Breast reconstruction patients throughout Covington and St. Tammany Parish choose our practice because of:
Multiple Options
Our goal is to educate and empower you so that you can become a partner in your care. Some patients want more natural treatment using their own tissue, like DIEP flap surgery. Others prefer the idea of implants. We can even combine breast implants and your own tissue with hybrid breast reconstruction. No matter your needs, we can help.
Board-Certification
Our doctor is board-certified in plastic surgery. He also has advanced training in reconstructive surgery, including microsurgery. This reconstructive focus makes him an ideal choice for Covington breast reconstruction patients.
Immediate Reconstruction
Do you hope to finish your treatment a bit faster? Our plastic surgeon can often make that possible with immediate breast reconstruction, communicating with your oncologist and synchronizing your care.
How Our Microsurgeon Differs From Other Surgeons
One more important way Dr. Tandon stands out from other Covington breast reconstruction providers? His focus on microsurgery. He honed this knowledge during a fellowship in these advanced techniques at New York University Medical Center.
The treatment itself involves conducting surgery using a microscope. It allows Dr. Tandon to precisely attach both your blood vessels and nerves during breast reconstruction. As a result, you may be able to feel resumed sensation in the breast, areola, and nipple.
Not all plastic surgeons can perform microsurgery. This makes Dr. Tandon an excellent choice for deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap surgery, which uses your own blood vessels and natural fat.
Dr. Tandon Can Match the Right Options To Your Unique Case

How Dr. Tandon Changed the Lives of These Breast Reconstruction Patients

In October 2023, I was diagnosed with invasive carcinoma, left breast. Due to extremely dense breast tissue, lumpectomy was not an option…Dr Tandon and his staff were most reassuring that all would be well, and it was!
I opted for breast implants which are very natural looking and have improved my shape immensely.
Dr Tandon is not only a skilled and talented physician, he is a caring and supportive person whose calming manner meant everything to both my husband and myself during such a difficult time.
Thank you, Dr Tandon, Shannon, Lacey and the office staff!

Dr. Tandon and his staff are the absolute best! Six months ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The best treatment option for me was a double mastectomy followed by reconstruction surgery. I am eternally grateful it was Dr. Tandon and his staff that were to be my Plastic Surgery team. They saw me for consultations at least 3 times prior to surgery where I was treated with deep compassion and professionalism. They explained my options thoroughly and I was confident that I was in the best care possible. Now, I can say, I have a better figure then I had before breast cancer. My post mastectomy/reconstruction treatment has been exceptional. I live 1 1/2 hours away in Mississippi, and would drive further for the quality of care I have received from Dr. Tandon and his Plastic Surgery team. I would recommend Dr. Tandon and his NP and team to my friends and to anyone having to face breast cancer.

Dr. Tandon believes that all breast reconstruction surgery patients should know their options — like the fact that insurance can assist with the costs of breast implants and other types of reconstruction after breast cancer.
During your consultation, we will explain how insurance can help you after a mastectomy. Our Metairie surgeon takes most insurances, and we can confirm if we accept yours. For remaining costs, you're welcome to use cash or credit cards.
