Breast Care Center

Breast reconstruction and plastic surgery

The Genesis Breast Care Center offers a full range of surgical breast reconstruction options, such as:

• Breast implants, silicone and saline
• Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) Flap
• Hidden scar surgery, oncoplastic closures

Your breast cancer surgery and reconstruction can be scheduled the same day at Genesis, so you don’t have to undergo two separate surgeries or travel to hospitals in other cities.

Imaging

Increase your odds of detecting breast cancer early – when it’s easier to treat – with regular breast exams and imaging tests according your doctor’s recommended schedule.

You can trust Genesis for high-quality, digital breast imaging because we’re accredited by the American College of Radiology as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence (BICOE). That means we meet high standards for image quality, staff training, equipment and quality assurance and control.

As a BICOE, we’re fully accredited in:

• Breast MRI
• Breast ultrasound
• Mammography, including 2D and 3D tomosynthesis
• Stereotactic breast biopsy
• Ultrasound-guided breast biopsy
