Your Compassionate, Board Certified Care with Dr. Laura B. Cooper
Breast reconstruction is a highly personal and transformative procedure designed to restore the shape, appearance, and confidence of women who have experienced breast loss due to cancer, genetic risk, or trauma. At Signature Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, Dr. Laura B. Cooper offers advanced breast cancer reconstruction in Jackson, Wyoming, combining technical precision with compassionate, individualized care.
As the only board certified plastic surgeon in Jackson Hole, WY, Dr. Cooper provides comprehensive breast reconstruction options for women following mastectomy, lumpectomy, or preventive surgery related to BRCA gene breast cancer risk. Her approach is collaborative, working closely with oncologists, and each patient’s care team to ensure optimal medical and aesthetic outcomes.
What Is Breast Reconstruction Surgery?
Breast reconstruction is a surgical process that rebuilds the breast mound after mastectomy or significant breast tissue loss due to disease or injury. Reconstruction can be performed using breast implants, the patient’s own tissue, or a combination of both, depending on medical factors, anatomy, and personal goals.
For women undergoing breast cancer surgery in Jackson, WY, reconstruction can be performed at the time of mastectomy or delayed until a later stage. Dr. Cooper carefully evaluates each patient’s treatment plan, overall health, and long term goals to determine the most appropriate reconstructive approach.
Breast reconstruction is not simply a cosmetic procedure. It plays a powerful role in emotional healing, body confidence, and restoring a sense of wholeness after breast cancer or preventive surgery.
Mastectomy in Jackson Hole
For many women, a mastectomy is a life saving but emotionally challenging experience. Dr. Cooper offers personalized mastectomy reconstruction in Jackson Hole, helping patients rebuild their breast shape while honoring their individual journey.
Options may include:
- Implant based reconstruction
- Autologous tissue reconstruction using the patient’s own tissue
- Staged reconstruction for optimal symmetry and contour
Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s cancer diagnosis, anatomy, lifestyle, and long term wellness goals.
BRCA Gene Breast Cancer Surgery and Preventive Reconstruction
Women who carry the BRCA gene mutation face an increased lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. For some patients, prophylactic mastectomy is chosen as a preventive measure to reduce cancer risk.
Dr. Cooper is deeply committed to caring for women undergoing BRCA gene breast cancer surgery, offering immediate and delayed reconstruction options that restore natural breast contours while prioritizing safety and long term outcomes.
Her experience with high risk patients ensures a thoughtful approach that integrates cancer prevention, surgical precision, and aesthetic restoration.
Immediate vs. Delayed Breast Reconstruction
Immediate Breast Reconstruction
Performed at the same time as mastectomy, immediate reconstruction can help preserve breast shape and reduce the number of surgeries required. Dr. Cooper frequently collaborates with breast surgeons and oncologists to coordinate immediate reconstruction when medically appropriate.
Delayed Breast Reconstruction
Some patients choose or require reconstruction at a later date due to cancer treatments such as radiation or chemotherapy. Dr. Cooper provides delayed breast cancer reconstruction in Jackson Hole with the same meticulous care and customized planning.
