How does breast reconstruction surgery work?
There are several possibilities when it comes to breast reconstruction surgery, which is often completed in stages. During your initial consultation for breast reconstruction in Tijuana, B.C, Our Doctors will evaluate and discuss a number of personal factors to determine which type of breast reconstruction is most appropriate for you. These may include:
Your overall health
Your surgical history
Your breast cancer stage
Your personal goals for breast reconstruction
Based on this information, Our Doctor will recommend one of the following approaches for breast reconstruction:
TRAM Flap
DIEP Flap
Latissimus Dorsi Flap
PAP Flap
In many cases, breast reconstruction involves harvesting skin, tissue, fat, and/or muscle from another area of the body and using it to re-create and cover the breast. Some women have breast implants placed as part of their breast reconstruction surgery as well.
What will my breasts look like after reconstruction?
Because every woman’s body and history are unique, the results of breast reconstruction surgery will vary from patient to patient. With an exceptional level of experience and expertise, Our Plastic Surgeons strive to create the most natural look possible during breast reconstruction surgery. However, patients should understand that their breasts will look different than their natural breasts. In some cases, cosmetic tattooing is performed as part of a breast reconstruction plan to create a nipple-areola complex, giving the patient an even more natural appearance.
Will I have feeling in my breasts after breast reconstruction?
Another common result of breast reconstruction surgery is the loss of sensation in the breasts. Some women experience a return of breast sensation after several months, while others have a permanent loss of feeling in the breasts after reconstructive surgery. Again, this depends heavily on what type of breast cancer surgery was performed, which breast reconstruction method was used, and a number of additional factors.
Depending on the type of reconstruction performed, whether an implant was used, and other factors, the breasts may still feel natural to the outside touch.
