Led by Dr. Kayla Humenansky, the only private practice female plastic surgeon in the Midlands, our approach honors your resilience and aims for results that look and feel natural. We offer a full spectrum of reconstructive techniques, including DIEP and TRAM flaps, implant-based reconstruction, aesthetic flat closure, and fat grafting. Our philosophy is rooted in restoration, not transformation, ensuring outcomes that reflect your individual journey. From your first consultation through every stage of healing, you'll be met with judgment-free compassion and clinical excellence.

Dr. Humenansky's board certification and fellowship training in plastic and reconstructive surgery bring a level of expertise rare in the Midlands region. Our patients benefit from a unique blend of surgical precision, anesthesia expertise, and holistic support—ensuring your physical health and emotional well-being are prioritized every step of the way.

No two journeys are alike—which is why we offer a wide range of reconstructive solutions tailored to your goals and anatomy. Options include autologous tissue transfer (DIEP, TRAM, latissimus dorsi flap), implant-based reconstruction, direct-to-implant techniques, and fat grafting for natural contour. For those choosing not to reconstruct a breast mound, we provide aesthetic flat closure with meticulous symmetry and scarring. Areola and nipple restoration is available via advanced medical tattooing. We work closely with each patient to determine the best approach—whether immediate reconstruction at the time of mastectomy or delayed restoration after healing. Our integrated team also guides you through recovery with in-house physical therapy and wellness support, ensuring your strength and comfort are never an afterthought. Every technique is performed with an eye for artistry, symmetry, and the kind of subtle results that make you feel like yourself again.

Your experience begins with a comprehensive evaluation and honest discussion of expectations, logistics, and investment. Our anesthesia team, led by Brittany Dietz, CRNA, ensures hospital-grade safety in the comfort of our clinic setting. For optimal healing, we offer in-practice physical therapy and wellness services, including stretch therapy and metabolic support. We recognize that emotional support is as vital as surgical precision; our staff is trained to offer empathy and privacy at every touchpoint. Whether you're seeking to restore what cancer or trauma took away, or simply want to feel at home in your body after a major life event, our all-female team stands ready to guide you with skill, sensitivity, and respect.
