A lumpectomy can be life-saving, but the changes it leaves behind often feel deeply personal. At the practice of Dr. Marco Ellis—a board-certified plastic surgeon affiliated with Northwestern Memorial Hospital—women across Chicago rediscover restorative options designed to rebuild not just contour, but confidence.
With years of refined microsurgical and aesthetic training, Dr. Ellis is widely recognized for his impeccable technique and beautifully natural results. Every reconstruction is approached with the same blend of artistry, precision, and genuine compassion that has made his Near North Side practice a trusted destination for women navigating life after breast cancer treatment.
What Is Post-Lumpectomy Reconstruction?
Post-lumpectomy reconstruction—often called oncoplastic surgery—reshapes the breast after tissue removal to restore symmetry, softness, and a natural silhouette. Whether your lumpectomy was recent or several years ago, today’s advanced techniques can address indentations, asymmetry, scarring, and the contour changes that sometimes follow radiation therapy. Dr. Ellis personalizes every plan around your unique anatomy, treatment history, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. The result is a refined, modern approach that feels less clinical and more like a thoughtful conversation about *you*—your body, your timing, and the look that feels most like home.
Your Reconstruction Options
Because every breast tells a different story, Dr. Ellis curates a tailored range of approaches:
- Oncoplastic reshaping performed at the time of lumpectomy to preserve natural contour
- Fat grafting to softly restore volume using your own tissue
- Local tissue rearrangement for refined, balanced shape
- Implant-based revision for women desiring added fullness or lift
- Symmetry procedures on the opposite breast to harmonize size and projection
- Scar revision and skin rejuvenation to soften the visible reminders of treatment
During your private consultation, Dr. Ellis explains each option in clear, approachable language—no pressure, no jargon, just honest guidance.
What to Expect Throughout Your Journey
Recovery from post-lumpectomy reconstruction is typically gentler than full reconstruction, with many patients returning to light activity within one to two weeks. From your first consultation through long-term follow-up, Dr. Ellis and his attentive Chicago team guide you with calm, modern care. You’ll receive a personalized roadmap, transparent pricing details, and direct access to a team that listens.
