One of Dr. Mecham’s greatest passions is breast reconstruction and the restoration of femininity stolen by cancer. Women who have a new diagnosis of breast cancer or have had mastectomies without reconstruction in the past can have hope that there are options for returning to a sense of wholeness. Not all women are safe candidates for reconstruction but we strive to walk this journey together. Dr. Elise Mecham offers a range of advanced options, including implant-based reconstruction and autologous (flap) reconstruction, tailored to your body, medical history, and personal preferences. We work closely with your oncology team to ensure safe, coordinated care every step of the way.

Dr. Mecham has spent additional years in training honing an advanced set of skills that allow her to perform microvascular surgery. This allows her to transfer tissue from one part of the body to another to rebuild breasts that are soft, warm, and all your own. Not everyone is a candidate or desires autologous breast reconstruction; for those women we also offer a full array of implant base options tailored to your needs and your body. Our team will be there through every step of the journey to help support you and see you through to the other side of this small part of your life experience.

You deserve to feel comfortable, supported, and empowered in your recovery. Schedule a private consultation to explore your options and begin your journey toward restoration with compassion and expertise. At Real You Plastic Surgery and Wellness, we accept a variety of insurances for breast cancer breast reconstruction.
