Breast RECONSTRUCTiON

Breast RECONSTRUCTION

What is BREAST RECONSTRUCTİON

After getting a mastectomy due to breast cancer, a woman may choose to get reconstructive surgery to restore and reshape their appearance. You might have undergone or about to undergo mastectomy (surgical excision of breast tissue and sometimes fat and skin tissue too). Mastectomy is necessary when you get a breast cancer diagnosis or have a high risk of developing breast cancer. Usually, people undergo breast reconstruction when or right after getting a mastectomy. Though, breast reconstruction is possible even years after getting a mastectomy. In order to restore natural-looking breast shape, surgeons use implants to alter the shape of the breasts. Sometimes we also utilise tissue from other places of the body too. Often, as patients get radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy alongside mastectomy, they are not eligible for immediate reconstruction. So patients opt for delayed breast reconstruction. Getting a breast cancer diagnosis might be a scary experience, regardless of your background. It can be an emotionally draining experience. In order to make a good decision about breast reconstructions, feel free to contact our team to learn more about your experiences. Our team will provide you with all the information you need to move forward with a decision.

Different Types Of Breast Reconstruction

We have many different options when doing breast reconstruction. There are two main methods:

  1. Implants: Our doctors use silicone or saline implants to increase the size of the breast (or both breasts in double mastectomy).
  2. Autologous transference: Autologous reconstruction involves grafting tissue from the patient’s own body. Common donor areas include back, belly or thighs.

The doctor may also implement an implant alongside autologous reconstruction. Implants come in waterdrop and round shapes. Both types have certain characteristics, our team will guide you through them upon your contact. It is possible to undergo a breast reconstruction even if you had muscle removed alongside breast tissue (radical mastectomy). Same applies for radiotherapy patients too, but it requires extra precautions. And large size breasts do not hinder us from operating as well.
