Breast Reconstruction – A Relief of Normalcy for Women Undergone Mastectomy

 

Breast Reconstruction

There are many reasons to consider breast reconstruction surgery. For example, women who have had a mastectomy may not have any breast tissue to restore after surgery, but they can choose to wear a false one. Reconstruction surgery is generally minor, and women can choose to have the procedure at any age.

There are many reasons to consider reconstruction surgery, but some women may not be candidates for this surgery. For example, some women may have inflammatory breast cancer, which requires more extensive skin removal. In this case, immediate reconstruction is not recommended. For these women, delayed reconstruction may be the best option. If the woman decides she wants to delay the surgery, she may be able to get external breast prosthesis to give her breasts a more realistic appearance.

There are also different types of flaps used in breast reconstruction. The most common types are those made from the back and abdomen, but they can also come from the buttocks or thigh. The tissue is lifted from the lower back and tunneled under the armpit. The muscle is then positioned and sutured onto the chest wall. A tissue expander is then placed in the pocket created by the muscle flap. Once this is completed, the procedure is known as "free-flap reconstruction."

A delayed reconstruction after breast cancer treatment is an option. The surgery can be performed six to twelve months after the initial breast surgery. However, it is often put off until after the cancer treatment is finished. Using an acellular dermal matrix is another option for reconstruction surgery. The process involves transferring fat tissue from another part of the body to the reconstructed breast. The tissue is extracted through liposuction and liquefied. It is then injected into the area of interest. While fat grafting is mainly used to correct deformities following breast reconstruction, it is possible to use fat to reconstruct the entire breast.
