• Breast Implant Augmentation

  Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed for breast enlargement. Through the placement of saline or silicone-filled breast implants, dr. Hunsicker can enlarge your breast size and restore volume and contour to your breasts. There are many different ways to perform breast augmentation, with different implant types, implant shapes, and surgical techniques.

• Breast Lift

  Breast lift surgery can raise and reshape sagging breasts by tightening loose tissue. Meanwhile, the areola size can be reduced. In some cases, a breast lift is combined with augmentation to restore breast volume as well.

• Breast Reduction

  Women choose breast reduction to alleviate symptoms caused by large breasts. These women experience a variety of medical problems, such as skin irritation, back pain, neck pain, and self-consciousness. Dr. Hunsicker removes tissue from the breasts, reducing their size while also elevating and reshaping them for a more youthful appearance.

  Male breast reduction corrects a condition called gynecomastia. This surgery is ideal for men who feel self-conscious about excess breast tissue. Dr. Hunsicker removes fat and or glandular tissue from the chest area, and, in extreme cases, removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured.

• Mommy Makeover

  Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lisa Hunsicker is known throughout the Denver area for her expertise in one of Denver’s most popular cosmetic treatments, the mommy makeover. The mommy makeover is a series of cosmetic surgery procedures that can help women regain a youthful figure after pregnancy and childbirth. For most patients, this may involve a tummy tuck combined with breast augmentation and/or breast lift surgery. Some women also want to reduce their labia after giving birth vaginally, and will add labiaplasty to surgeries that address other concerns with their breasts or abdominal areas. Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lisa Hunsicker who has been practicing in South Denver, CO for over twenty years, will tailor these procedures depending on your specific desires. Here in South Denver, Dr. Hunsicker performs the mommy makeover to help moms recapture aspects of their physique they appreciated before having children and renew their self-confidence. If you’re a mom who is bothered by the changes brought by pregnancy, then a mommy makeover may be right for you. The surgery is designed to address problems such as: Protruding tummy Persistent areas of body fat Sagging or deflated breasts Skin laxity in the labia minora These conditions are very common for women who have given birth and breast fed. Fortunately, there are options to improve your shape and self-confidence if you choose to do so. Good candidates for the mommy makeover are healthy non-smokers, with a stable body weight and realistic expectations. TECHNIQUES IN THE MOMMY MAKEOVER During your personal consultation at Revalla’s state-of-the-art Littleton surgery center, Dr. Hunsicker will determine which procedures will help you regain your pre-baby body shape. She will answer any questions you have and discuss the procedure(s) in detail, so you can make an educated decision about your mommy makeover treatment. Patients are typically advised to wait at least 3 to 6 months after childbirth before considering a mommy makeover. Dr. Hunsicker can help you plan for the procedure, whether it is performed in the near future or several months from now.

• Breast Cancer Reconstruction

  Breast reconstruction is a procedure most commonly performed as a result of mastectomy (full breast removal) or lumpectomy (removal of a portion of the breast) due to breast cancer. Dr. Lisa Hunsicker is also a pioneer in helping women who are interested in reconstruction after prophylactic or preventative mastectomy surgeries due to a breast cancer gene mutation or strong family history of breast cancer. In all cases, breast reconstruction is a procedure to help restore a more natural breast appearance. Although breast reconstruction can be performed at different times in your cancer treatment, there are some reconstruction options that are only available at certain stages during your cancer treatment. At Revalla, we believe that all women should be familiar with the reconstructive options available to them, so that they can make a comprehensive plan before any surgical intervention takes place. Dr. Hunsicker often performs a single-stage, direct-to-implant procedure that allows for immediate reconstruction during the same surgery as the mastectomy. It is performed in tandem with the General Surgeon. Dr. Hunsicker is one of an elite few surgeons in the country to develop and use this direct-to implant technique on a regular basis. She is nationally-recognized for her experience honing this procedure and has more than a decade of experience offering it successfully to hundreds of patients. LITTLETON BREAST RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY Dr. Hunsicker believes a team approach to cancer care, with clear communication and collaboration, is the key to more surgeons offering this innovative single-stage reconstruction technique. The video below highlights the strong rapport between members of the Littleton Adventist Hospital Breast Cancer Care team, and how this trust in each other helps their patients thrive. HOW WE PERFORM BREAST RECONSTRUCTION There are a variety of factors, including cancer stage, chemotherapy, radiation, medical history, and prior surgical history, that can affect your options for breast reconstruction. Dr. Hunsicker reviews all the appropriate reconstruction options with each of her patients and then works with you, your General Surgeon, and the rest of your cancer treatment team to determine which course of action is best suited to your individual situation. Here are a few of the most common options that women should consider: DIRECT-TO-IMPLANT RECONSTRUCTION A procedure which allows patients to have a permanent breast implant placed at the time of mastectomy, allowing women to emerge from surgery fully-reconstructed. STAGED RECONSTRUCTION USING TISSUE EXPANDER AND IMPLANTS A procedure in which a tissue expander is placed at the time of mastectomy, and secondary surgery for permanent implant placement is performed at a later date. The tissue expander is a modified saline implant with a valve that allows for more saline to be added over the course of several weeks. Once the tissue has been stretched to allow for the volume of the new implant, the tissue expander is then exchanged for a permanent implant in a separate surgery. DIEP, TRAM, LATISSIMUS FLAPS Procedures that use muscle flaps and fatty tissue from other areas of the body to create a breast mound. Sometimes these forms of reconstruction can also be performed at the time of mastectomy. FAT TRANSFER RECONSTRUCTION A procedure that is started after patients have healed from mastectomy and cancer treatment; it uses a patient’s own body fat to create a breast mound. This technique usually involves the use of a device called the Brava System. NIPPLE RECONSTRUCTION Performed after breast reconstruction, this is a secondary surgery to reconstruct patients’ nipples if nipple-sparing has not been an option during primary reconstruction. AREOLA TATTOOING Areola tattooing is a popular, non-surgical method for recreating the appearance of an areola after breast reconstruction. A tattoo is used to create a permanent and natural-looking areola.
