Introduction
At Jandali Plastic Surgery in Trumbull, CT, we specialize in breast reconstruction for women after mastectomy, lumpectomy, or prior implant reconstruction.
With 15 years of experience and a practice dedicated largely to breast reconstruction, Dr. Shareef Jandali provides advanced options — from prepectoral implants and DIEP flaps to fat grafting, Renuva, and oncoplastic techniques.
All reconstruction and revisions — even years or decades later — are fully covered by insurance under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA).
