Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomia

Breast restoration after mastectomy is a plastic and aesthetic surgical operation performed in order to regenerate breast structure in cases where breast tissue for breast cancer treatment is completely or partially removed by surgery. Breast tissue loss experienced by cancer-fighting patients may have negative effects on the person and may be aesthetically worrying. Breast restoration can be applied after mastectomy in order to make the patient feel psychologically good and to eliminate the chest deficiency caused by the disease. Differences such as whether mastectomy was performed in the breast cancer patient in the early stages or advanced stages of the cancer; factors such as whether breast cancer treatment continues with chemotherapy and radiotherapy methods affect when and at what level breast restoration can be performed.

HOW IS BREAST RESTORATION OPERATION AFTER MASTECTOMY DONE?

Tissue loss areas may be in the vital areas of the person, or only in areas of aesthetic concern. The operations performed for this purpose vary according to the type of tissue that is lost (skin, muscle, bone, or all of them). The ‘aesthetic’ expectations of the patient are of great importance in post-traumatic tissue loss operation, which is an aesthetic and plastic surgery operation performed for tissue transplantation and tissue formation. Aesthetic expectations of patients with tissue loss may be more sensitive than other patients in terms of psychological. Taking into consideration these expectations, the aesthetic surgeon forms the scope of the operation by providing the patient with the method recommendations that will provide the most efficient results in eliminating tissue losses. Operations performed with general anesthesia may take an average of 2 - 8 hours depending on the nature of the applications.
