Our services
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is a highly personalized part of breast cancer care, focused on restoring the shape, appearance, and symmetry of the breast while supporting healing and confidence after treatment. As part of Riverside’s Cancer Care Network, reconstruction is thoughtfully integrated into a multidisciplinary approach, ensuring coordination across your care team and alignment with your overall treatment plan.
- Personalized planning in coordination with your breast surgeon and cancer care team
- Guidance through reconstruction options based on your goals, anatomy, and treatment plan
- Options may include implant-based reconstruction or using your own tissue (from the abdomen or back)
- Immediate reconstruction performed at the time of breast surgery or delayed reconstruction after treatment is complete
- Use of tissue expanders when appropriate to gradually achieve the desired shape and size
- Reconstruction following lumpectomy to reshape the breast and improve symmetry
- Nipple-sparing and skin-sparing approaches when appropriate
- Option to combine reconstruction with breast reduction for improved comfort and balance
Skin Cancer Treatment
Evaluation and treatment of suspicious skin lesions, with a focus on early detection and precise removal, while preserving healthy tissue and natural appearance.
- In-office biopsy of suspicious areas, with samples sent to pathology to confirm diagnosis and guide next steps
- Surgical removal using wide local excision, carefully removing the lesion along with a margin of surrounding tissue
- Use of on-site pathology techniques during select procedures to help confirm clear margins before closure
- Reconstruction as needed to restore function and achieve the best possible cosmetic result
Oculoplastic (eyelid and brow) procedures
Procedures focused on both cosmetic enhancement and functional improvement of the eyelids and brow, addressing concerns that affect appearance, vision and eye function.
Procedures include:
- Treatment of excess eyelid skin that can create a heavy or tired appearance
- Brow lift and forehead procedures to improve brow position and facial balance
- Evaluation and treatment of vision obstruction, often secondary to excess skin, brow descent or eyelid ptosis.
- Cosmetic procedures to improve facial aesthetics and procedures to improve the shape and tone of the torso and extremities.
Non-surgical facial rejuvenation
Botox
Botox relaxes small facial muscles that cause wrinkles from repeated expressions. It can soften lines and slows down the lines getting deeper over time. Botox may be used on the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes.
Juvederm
Juvederm is a filler that adds volume back to areas where the face has lost fullness. It can smooth smile lines and subtly lift or enhance the cheeks for a fresher look.
