Reconstructive Surgery

Dr. Ortegon performs several reconstructive procedures for his patients in San Antonio, to restore a normal appearance after a traumatic injury or disease.

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is a procedure designed to recreate a woman’s breasts after a mastectomy. There are several techniques that can be utilized to carry out this procedure; some use breast implants and some use your body’s natural tissue.

Skin Cancer Surgery

Surgical techniques such as Mohs surgery are used to remove and examine cancerous lesions on the skin. Skin grafts or local flaps can reconstruct the skin to minimize cosmetic imperfections.

Tissue Expansion

Tissue expansion enables the body to grow extra skin for use in reconstructive surgery. It is most commonly used for breast reconstruction following breast removal-but it's also used to repair skin damaged by birth defects, accidents or surgery, and in certain cosmetic procedures.
