Arkansas Breast Reconstruction & Aesthetic Plastic Surgery - ARBRA

Hailey brings a unique combination of critical care experience, clinical expertise, and genuine compassion to the ARBRA team.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Missouri and began her career in the Intensive Care Unit, caring for critically ill patients and developing the strong clinical foundation and attention to detail that continue to shape the way she practices today. She later earned her Master of Science in Nursing and became a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner.

At ARBRA, Hailey works closely alongside Dr. Kania throughout the surgical journey, from preoperative planning and patient education to assisting in the operating room and providing thoughtful postoperative care. Her role helps ensure our patients have continuity, communication, and support at every stage of their experience.

And her connection to ARBRA actually began before the practice existed.

While working as an ICU nurse, Hailey helped care for Dr. Kania’s very first DIEP flap patient in Arkansas. Now, in a full-circle moment, she has joined Dr. Kania in caring for the patients who trust ARBRA with their reconstruction and surgical care.

We’re incredibly excited to have Hailey on our team and can’t wait for our patients to get to know her.

Welcome to ARBRA, Hailey. 🤍

Restoration Redefined.

Abdominoplasty is often thought of as a cosmetic procedure, but for many patients, it is about far more than appearance.

Pregnancy, weight loss, and prior surgeries can lead to abdominal muscle separation, weakened core support, and excess skin that causes daily discomfort.

A tummy tuck may involve:
• Repairing separated abdominal muscles
• Restoring structural support to the abdominal wall
• Removing excess skin contributing to irritation or heaviness
Contouring the abdomen with liposuction

At ARBRA Plastic Surgery, every surgical plan is approached with intention. Our goal is not simply aesthetic change, but thoughtful restoration of function, support, and proportion, tailored to each individual patient.

If you’re considering abdominoplasty, we invite you to begin with a consultation and a personalized discussion.

Purifying fat is a critical step in the fat transfer process. When fat is harvested, it is not immediately ready to be reinjected. The material collected contains fluid, anesthetic solution, blood, and some damaged fat cells along with the healthy ones.

Before placement, that material is carefully processed so that only viable, healthy fat cells remain. This refinement step helps improve the likelihood that the transferred fat will establish blood supply and survive long term.

It may not be the most talked-about part of the procedure, but it is one of the most important.

Understanding these details helps you ask better questions, evaluate technique, and feel more confident in how your procedure is performed.

Fat transfer is more than just movement. It is selection, and precise placement.

Revision surgery can feel intimidating.

You may already have been through one procedure. Some patients experience hesitation about trying againand that is completely understandable.

The second surgery is different because the starting point is different. Scar tissue, prior techniques, and tissue changes all influence the strategy moving forward.

This is where experience matters most.

A thoughtful revision plan is built on understanding what has already been done and how your body responded to it. With specialized training in complex reconstructive work, Dr. Kania approaches revision cases with that level of precision and care.

If you are considering revision, the goal is not simply correction. It is clarity, stability, and a long-term result you feel confident in.

It’s not what we do.

At ARBRA, a mastopexy (breast lift) is approached with restraint and intention. The goal is to restore what pregnancy, weight changes, or time have altered. To lift and reshape the tissue, reposition the nipple-areola complex, and create a result that feels natural, balanced, and proportionate to your body.

Not bigger. Not dramatically different. More like you, before.

Dr. Kania brings the same microsurgical precision to her aesthetic work that she applies to reconstruction. That means an eye for symmetry, proportion, and long-term outcomes - not just the immediate result.

Medical-grade skincare is often misunderstood.
It is not defined by price or branding, but by formulation, pe*******on, and the ability to influence skin function at a deeper level.

At ARBRA, we recommend products that support barrier integrity, regulate inflammation, and improve the way skin behaves over time, not just how it looks in the moment.

This is particularly important in surgical patients, where the skin must be able to tolerate stress, heal efficiently, and maintain results long-term.

Our approach is not to create more steps.
It is to create the right foundation.

When skincare is aligned with skin physiology, it becomes part of the treatment plan, not an accessory to it.

Breast reconstruction is a deeply personal decision, and every patient's journey is unique. For many women, autologous (natural tissue) reconstruction offers a beautiful, long-term option that restores both form and confidence.

The DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap is considered the gold standard in microsurgical breast reconstruction. During this procedure, skin, fat, and blood vessels from the lower abdomen are carefully transferred to reconstruct the breast while preserving the abdominal muscles.

Because your own tissue is used, the reconstructed breast is soft, warm, and continues to change naturally with your body over time. A defining benefit of this modern technique is muscle preservation. By carefully dissecting around the abdominal muscles, this procedure helps minimize donor site trauma, promote a faster recovery, and protect your core strength.

Because it uses your own tissue, the results evolve naturally with your body over time, avoiding the long-term maintenance or potential complications associated with implants.

Dr. Kasia Kania was the first surgeon to bring these advanced microsurgical techniques to Northwest Arkansas, ensuring world-class reconstructive options are accessible right here in our community.

A successful procedure does not guarantee an optimal result.

Skin quality plays a critical role in how outcomes appear, how tissue heals, and how results hold over time.

At ARBRA, we evaluate more than structure. We assess skin texture, elasticity, and overall health because these factors influence how the body responds to surgical change.

Surgery can reposition or restore, but the skin must be able to support that change.

When skin quality is compromised, results may appear less refined, healing may be prolonged, and longevity may be affected.

This is why we approach treatment comprehensively.

Your skin is not separate from your result.
It is part of it.

Inflammation is one of the most influential and often overlooked factors in both aging and healing.

At a cellular level, chronic inflammation contributes to collagen breakdown, weakens the skin barrier, and reduces the skin’s ability to respond effectively to stress.

In a surgical setting, this can translate to slower healing, increased sensitivity, and less predictable outcomes.

At ARBRA, we address inflammation as part of the overall treatment plan. Supporting the skin in a calm, balanced state allows it to heal more efficiently and maintain results more effectively over time.

Healthy skin is not just about appearance.
It is about function.

When function is supported, outcomes improve.
