The Process
Tools and Techniques
Tissue expanders stretch skin and muscle for implant placement. Implants rebuild the breast mound, while predicated flaps relocate tissue with its blood supply intact for reconstruction.
Timing Your Reconstruction
Simultaneous with mastectomy surgery, immediate reconstruction occurs. Following removal of the breast by the breast cancer surgeon, the plastic surgeon promptly reconstructs the breast using tissue from another body location or with an implant, and occasionally a combination of both.
Matching Your Expectations
Aligning patient and surgeon expectations ensures the most optimal and secure reconstructions.
The Recovery Process
Enhancing your recovery and overall experience: Your recuperation stands as a pivotal aspect of the reconstructive journey.
