Our Approach to Breast Surgery
Dr. Veith focuses on creating results that look natural and suit your body. Every decision about your surgery is based on your anatomy, your goals, and what will work best for your specific situation. There's no standard approach. What makes sense for one patient may not be right for another.
He takes time to explain why he recommends certain techniques, what your options are, and what to expect from each choice. The planning process is collaborative, but it's always grounded in what's realistic and achievable for you.
What Happens During Your Consultation
Dr. Veith begins by understanding what brought you in. He'll ask about your goals, review your medical history, and examine your anatomy. The consultation is straightforward: he'll explain what the procedure involves, how long it takes, what recovery looks like, and answer any questions you have.
He'll discuss factors such as anesthesia, where surgery takes place, and the timeline from consultation through follow-up. If you need additional evaluations or imaging before moving forward, he'll let you know. The aim is for you to leave the consultation with clear information and confidence in your next steps.
What to Expect: From Consultation to Recovery
Once you decide to proceed, our process unfolds in clear stages:
- Pre-Operative Preparation. The surgical team coordinates scheduling and provides detailed instructions about medications to adjust or avoid, guidelines for eating and drinking before surgery, and what to arrange at home during recovery.
- Surgery Day. You'll know where to go, who will be in the room, and what the timeline looks like. Surgery takes place in an accredited facility with experienced staff and modern equipment.
- Initial Recovery. Most patients experience some swelling and bruising, along with temporary limits on movement and activity. Dr. Veith provides specific guidance on post-operative care and when you can gradually return to normal routines.
- Follow-Up Care. Appointments allow Dr. Veith to monitor your healing and address questions or concerns as they arise. Results are expected to improve over several months as swelling resolves and everything settles into place.

Insurance & Payment Options
Thibodaux Regional Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic accepts all major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. Whether your insurance covers surgery depends on whether it's considered reconstructive or cosmetic. Breast reduction, reconstruction, and gynecomastia surgery may be covered if you meet certain criteria. Augmentation and lifts are generally not covered.
Our office will verify your benefits and provide a cost estimate before you schedule surgery. If you're responsible for some or all of the cost, the financial team will explain your balance and discuss payment options with you.
