Here's everything you need to know about this unique bra
Breast reconstruction surgery is a surgical procedure for women who have had breast cancer and have undergone a complete or partial mastectomy. The days following surgery are characterized by pain, bleeding, swelling, and limited movement, along with a general feeling of discomfort. This surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia and involves a lengthy recovery period, which ranges from six to eight weeks on average.
How breast reconstruction surgery is performed
Breast reconstruction surgery is performed by a plastic surgeon and allows for the reconstruction of the breast structure and the correction of deformities that occurred in the breast following the surgery and caused a lack of tissue or asymmetry between the two breasts. The surgery can restore the original volume of the removed breast, thus allowing it to regain its natural shape. Immediate breast reconstruction surgery can be performed on the same day, immediately after the mastectomy, as part of the surgery itself, or at a later stage, at the end of the recovery period and after completion of all required treatments, if any. Immediate breast reconstruction surgery is considered to have several advantages:
- Shortening the surgical procedure – This is a combined surgery that saves the patient from having to undergo another surgical procedure, which involves preparation and anesthesia, along with a recovery and convalescence period.
- Feeling better – Immediate breast reconstruction surgery allows the patient to enjoy a beautiful and natural breast appearance, thus reducing the negative effects of mastectomy.
- Optimal result – In a combined procedure, the breast skin can be preserved after the excision is completed, so that it can be used in the reconstruction process and thereby obtain better results.
Why is breast reconstruction surgery recommended?
Breast reconstruction surgery is designed to restore the original volume of a breast that has undergone partial or complete resection and to restore the appearance of the areola. It is important to understand that the surgery does not allow for a 100% identical appearance to the breast before the resection, but the result is particularly aesthetic and natural. In this way, reconstruction surgery significantly reduces the damage of the mastectomy and allows the patient to feel confident. This is a surgery with a very high success rate, approximately 98%. There are several techniques for breast reconstruction: reconstruction using an implant, reconstruction using tissue taken from the abdomen and back, or a combination of these two techniques.
