Breast Reconstruction Houston

If you’ve had breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy as a result, breast reconstruction can help you feel better about your appearance. While the surgery will not restore the exact way you looked and felt before your mastectomy, it can be deeply beneficial to your overall comfort and self-confidence.

Dr. Steinberg and her team are amazing! I had lipo 360 and an implant exchange and I couldn’t be happier with my results. She really listens to your concerns, sets realistic expectations and thoroughly explains your options. She doesn’t rush you, answers all your questions and is a perfectionist which leads to amazing results. I wouldn’t trust anyone else in Houston! I recently started Botox with Kacie too. She has such a calming energy as she’s injecting and is also very clear in what to expect, what potential risks may occur and timelines for needing to come back for more. Next up is lasers!

Dr. Steinberg gave me a whole mommy makeover three years ago, and I am happy to report it looks even better now than it did then. The scars have healed to near-invisibility and are completely covered in even the smallest bikini. Her consultation was very thorough and she let me know what to expect from prepping for surgery, the actual surgery day, and the weeks of recovery. I was happy with the pain meds she prescribed, and didn’t feel the need to refill after the first month. Wearing the recovery garments properly helped reduce the pain, and the gabapentin covered the rest. I was so happy with my results that my mom happily gave her a call when she needed her implants replaced. I would recommend her to anyone (and I do!) as both a gifted and caring surgeon.

Dr. Steinberg is genuinely one of the most attentive and caring surgeons I’ve encountered. She takes real time with each patient and truly listens; you can tell patient care is her priority. Shadowing Dr. Steinberg was an incredible experience, and one of the biggest things I took away was how much she genuinely cares about her patients. Hands down one of the most attentive and invested doctors I've observed; she listens closely and makes intentional time for every patient to ensure they're getting the best possible care. I wanted to share my honest experience because I think it speaks volumes about the kind of physician she is, and it shaped how I think about practicing medicine myself. From the consultations I observed, Dr. Steinberg was consistently professional, thorough, and respectful with every patient. She took the time to walk patients through their procedures, set realistic expectations, and answer every question in detail. I never once saw a patient get rushed or talked over and she was clear and confident while making sure patients understood both the benefits and the limitations of their options, so they could make truly informed decisions. That same level of care extended to her staff. I saw firsthand how organized scheduling, pre-op communication, and follow-up were handled patients' questions never went unanswered for long. Watching the coordination between surgical prep and post-op care gave me a real appreciation for how much structure goes into a smooth patient experience. I also got to see her follow-up process, where she and her team checked in to make sure patients were healing well and that any concerns were addressed quickly. It was clear patients felt supported at every stage, not just during the procedure itself. Shadowing her gave me a clear picture of what excellent, patient-centered care looks like in practice. Dr. Steinberg demonstrated real expertise, professionalism, and genuine investment in her patients' wellbeing and watching her prioritize patient education and safety at every step taught me a lot about the kind of doctor I want to become.

I recently met a former patient of Dr Ashley & had the pleasure of seeing her handiwork up close. I can confirm the 5 star reviews are well warranted. An absolutely belting pair of knockers. Keep up the great work!

About 15 years ago, as part of my treatment for prostate cancer, I underwent a radical prostatectomy. The surgery and recovery were difficult, and as a result, I experienced penile tissue damage and subsequent testicular atrophy. I was recently referred to Dr. Ashley Steinberg by a trusted healthcare professional, and from the very first consultation, it was clear that I was in exceptionally capable and compassionate hands. My experience with Dr. Steinberg and her entire team has been outstanding in every respect. To date, I have undergone one platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment (commonly referred to as the P-Shot) as well as two Scrotox (scrotal Botox) treatments. These are highly sensitive procedures that involve multiple injections into very delicate areas of the body—something that understandably can create anxiety and hesitation for many patients, myself included. What sets Dr. Steinberg apart is her ability to navigate these sensitivities with both technical excellence and genuine empathy. She communicates clearly, prepares you for what to expect, and proceeds with a level of precision and care that inspires confidence. Just as importantly, she is deeply attentive to patient comfort, taking every possible step to minimize discomfort and ensure that the experience is as pain-free as possible. Her bedside manner is exceptional. She combines professionalism with a reassuring, approachable demeanor—and even a well-timed sense of humor—which helps ease what could otherwise be an uncomfortable or stressful situation. That human touch makes a meaningful difference. During my initial consultation, she took the time to answer every question thoroughly and worked collaboratively with me to develop a treatment plan tailored to my specific needs and goals. I never felt rushed, dismissed, or uncertain—only supported and well cared for. I cannot recommend Dr. Steinberg highly enough. For any man—especially those who have undergone prostate surgery and are dealing with similar challenges—seeking out a specialist in this area can feel daunting. However, under Dr. Steinberg’s care, you can feel confident that you are working with a physician who combines expertise, sensitivity, and a true commitment to patient well-being.

What Is Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

The goal of surgery is to recreate the breast as close to its previous appearance as possible — unless the patient requests specific changes, such as an increase in the original cup size or projection. Focus is put on the recreation of three areas: the breast mound, the areola, and the nipple. Because all patients and patient experiences are different, each surgery is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Are You A Good Candidate for Breast Reconstruction?

Breast cancer patients who will undergo or have already undergone breast cancer surgery are candidates for this surgery. Of course, you must meet other criteria as well. For example, if this surgery would interfere with ongoing cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation — or treatment of another illness or condition — you may need to hold off. In general, patients must be in overall good physical and mental health.

Patients should also be non-smokers and at a healthy weight. Both smoking and being overweight or obese carry with them additional health risks where surgery and the recovery process are concerned. Finally, patients should have realistic expectations about this surgery. Reconstruction will not bring back the same natural breasts you had prior to undergoing cancer surgery. Big improvements can be made, however, and the vast majority of patients who have undergone this surgery are very happy with their results.

Dr. Steinberg will go over all the details of surgery during your consultation appointment.

What Are My Options for Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

All breast reconstruction surgeries are unique because all breast cancer patients are unique. Depending on the type of mastectomy you had, what your scarring looks like, and when you plan to have reconstruction surgery take place, your options may differ greatly.

You will first need to decide when you want to have the surgery and then decide on the type of surgery you want.

Breast Reconstruction Timing

  • During Cancer Surgery: Some patients opt to have their reconstruction surgery at the same time as their mastectomy or cancer surgery. This prevents the experience of being without natural breasts and gets the majority of the surgical procedures done at one time.
  • Breast Reconstruction After Healing From Cancer Surgery: You can also wait until the healing from your cancer surgery has concluded before getting surgery. This is called delayed reconstruction.

Types of Breast Reconstruction Surgery

  • Oncoplastic Reconstruction: Rearrangement of tissue after lumpectomy, prior to radiation with a symmetry procedure on the contralateral breast.
  • Reconstruction With Tissue Expanders and Breast Implants: Silicone gel, or saline implants may be used. This procedure starts with an implant that can be gradually expanded. This implant is temporary. O=Once the skin is stretched enough for an implant, the temporary expander is removed and a permanent implant is placed.
  • Flap Reconstruction Using the Patient’s Own Body Tissue: Also known as autologous tissue reconstruction or “flap procedures,” some patients are able to have their breasts rebuilt using their own tissue.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

Breast reconstruction is a complex surgery. Every patient is different, so a consultation appointment is mandatory for figuring out your best options. At your consultation, Dr. Steinberg, along with help from a Patient Care Coordinator, will speak with you about your medical and surgical history, go over your current medications, and then discuss your options moving forward.

You will also have a brief physical exam and get a chance to ask any questions you may have about the procedure as well.

Ideally, you will have a surgical plan in place by the end of your consultation and be able to schedule an appointment(s) for your upcoming reconstruction surgery before you go home.

What to Expect During Your Surgery

Again, all reconstruction surgeries vary greatly. Therefore, it’s difficult to know when and how any given procedure will go.

Generally speaking, as long as you are not having reconstruction performed at the time of your cancer surgery, you will arrive at the accredited surgical center and first be welcomed by staff. You will then be taken to a pre-surgery room where you will be prepared for the procedure and get a chance to speak with Dr. Steinberg.

She will perform several markings on your skin in preparation for surgery, and then you will be taken to the operating room, where an anesthesiologist will administer anesthesia for your safety and comfort.

 Recovery

Breast reconstruction is generally not an outpatient procedure, so following surgery, you should be able to go home after a day or two. This varies, of course, so some patients may end up staying for a longer recovery period before they are discharged.

Once at home, be sure to closely follow the healing and care instructions provided to you by Dr. Steinberg. You will meet with her several times during the recovery process, and at each appointment, she will tell you when you can begin to return to your normal activities, such as going to work and doing regular exercise.

Some swelling, slight pain, and discomfort is to be expected as you recover. Wearing a compression garment and using ice as needed can help reduce some symptoms. You will also be prescribed pain medications to improve your comfort.  You may have to wear a surgical bra after breast reconstruction.

Restore your comfort and confidence with breast construction surgery.

Risks and Complications

Like all major surgeries, there are some possible, yet rare, risks and complications associated with surgery. These include:

  • Anesthesia problems
  • Infection
  • Issues with the healing of wounds
  • Bleeding and clotting issues
  • The build-up of fluids
  • Uneven contouring or excessive firmness after healing
  • Loss of flap
  • Reaction of tissue or implant to radiation

Breast Reconstruction Houston: Frequently Asked Questions

This really depends on your situation and circumstances. All patients will have a different experience with their breast cancer surgeries. Additionally, all patients wish to undergo reconstruction in their own way. Some may want to have reconstruction at the same time as their mastectomy while others may want to wait and recover from their cancer surgery before going in again for reconstruction surgery.

Limits such as the type of implants being used (if any), mastectomy scarring, overall health, healing time, and insurance restraints will also affect what reconstruction route you choose.

In some cases, patients can have a nipple-sparing mastectomy, which allows the nipple and areola tissue to remain intact. This will be a discussion between you and your breast oncologic surgeon.

All plastic surgery prices vary, depending on certain factors, but none vary so much as breast reconstruction. A range of factors will influence the ultimate cost of surgery, so it’s best to book a consultation appointment in order to get the most accurate estimate. Breast reconstruction surgery is often fully covered by insurance.

Yes, in most cases, health insurance may cover some or all of the costs associated with breast reconstruction surgery
