Breast Reconstruction is a type of surgery performed by a plastic surgeon and is for women who have had a mastectomy – single or bilateral. Most women who have had a mastectomy are able to undergo reconstructive surgery, however, electing to have reconstruction is a choice for each individual to make.
• To make the breasts look balanced and natural,
• To regain breast shape,
• For positive effects on self-image, self-esteem, and feelings of sexuality,
• As an alternative to wearing external breast forms.
Most common reconstructive surgery performed today are:
• TRAM Flap Procedure: uses tissue and muscles from the tummy to rebuild the breast. The procedure can decrease strength in the core, and can also result in tummy “tightening” (ie. A tummy tuck).
• Implant Procedures: Implants are placed in a pocket made between the chest muscle (pectoris) and the rib. The type of implant used could be saline or silicone-gel. In some cases, expander implants may be used to allow saline solution to be added in small amounts at a given time, this allows the pocket made for the implant to expand and stretch at a slower rate.
