Your Breast Reconstruction Choices
You have a range of treatment options at our Metairie plastic surgery office serving the Greater New Orleans area. Our board-certified plastic surgeon will walk you through your breast reconstruction options during a consultation to develop a plan that meets your cosmetic goals and complements your lifestyle.
Breast Implants
Our surgeon can use silicone or saline implants in breast reconstruction. In the first procedure, a tissue expander is placed to prepare your chest for an implant. After several months, Dr. Ravi Tandon can remove the tissue expander and place your implant. You will need to replace your implant about every 10 years.
Regain Feeling With Breast Resensation an Optional Part of Breast Reconstruction
Dr. Tandon is one of the few surgeons in the world who can perform the revolutionary Resensation® procedure to restore some feeling to your breasts after a mastectomy. This microsurgery uses allograft nerve tissue to connect the nerves in your chest with the nerves in your reconstructed breast tissue.
While you won't have the same sensation as you did before your mastectomy, this microsurgery allows patients to regain some feeling in their breasts and nipples so they can enjoy hugs and intimacy, detect injuries and temperature changes, and move past their breast cancer and mastectomy.

In October 2023, I was diagnosed with invasive carcinoma, left breast... 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 is an exceptional surgeon with an incredible staff (Thank you Shannon!). I felt supported and informed for every step of my DIEP flap reconstruction. No matter what the circumstances are, the idea of surgery can be intimidating. Dr. Tandon's talents and skills as a surgeon coupled with his approachable and calm demeanor made the best out of an overwhelming situation. I'm really impressed with my results and sincerely grateful to he and his team!
