Welcome to our comprehensive guide on breast reconstruction surgery, a procedure aimed at restoring the breast’s appearance after mastectomy or lumpectomy due to cancer or other conditions. Our dedicated team is committed to supporting and guiding you through every step of this transformative journey, offering expert care, compassion, and personalized treatment plans to meet your unique needs and goals.
Breast reconstruction surgery is a deeply personal choice, offering an opportunity for physical and emotional healing. The goal is to recreate a breast mound that matches the form and appearance of the natural breast as closely as possible. This can be achieved using implants, autologous tissue (using your own body tissue), or a combination of both.
This method involves using saline or silicone implants to rebuild the breast shape. It may require a two-stage process, starting with a tissue expander to create space for the implant.
This technique uses tissue from another part of your body, such as the abdomen, back, or buttocks, to form a new breast. It’s a more complex surgery but can deliver more natural-looking results.
For those who desire, reconstruction of the nipple and areola can be performed, often as the final phase of breast reconstruction, to enhance the aesthetic appearance and provide a sense of completion.
Breast reconstruction can be performed immediately following a mastectomy (immediate reconstruction) or months to years afterwards (delayed reconstruction). The timing depends on your medical condition, cancer treatment plan, and personal preference. Our team will work closely with you and your oncology team to determine the best timing for your reconstruction.
Your journey begins with a consultation, where we discuss your goals, review reconstruction options, and tailor a plan to your specific needs.
The details of the surgery vary depending on the chosen reconstruction method. Our surgeons use the latest techniques to optimize outcomes and minimize scarring.
