Beyond Survival: Comprehensive Breast Reconstruction Solutions
Breast cancer diagnosis often involves complex decisions, including the choice for breast reconstruction after surgery. At Dr Keertana Aesthetics, we understand the significance of this decision and offer advanced reconstructive procedures tailored to individual needs. Here’s an overview of breast reconstruction techniques, ideal candidates, and what to expect:
Breast Reconstruction Surgery in Bangalore
Procedures Available:
- Implant-Based Reconstruction: This technique involves using saline or silicone implants to recreate the breast mound. It typically requires multiple surgeries to achieve the desired shape and size.
- Autologous Tissue Reconstruction: Utilizing your body’s own tissue, commonly from the back (LD flap), abdomen (TRAM, DIEP flap), buttocks (SGAP, IGAP flap), or thighs (TMG flap), this method creates a natural-looking breast. It involves longer surgery but provides a more permanent and natural result.
- Combination or Hybrid Reconstruction: A blend of implant-based and autologous techniques may be used to optimize outcomes, especially in cases requiring complex reconstruction.
Ideal Candidate:
Ideal candidates for breast reconstruction include women who have undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy due to breast cancer or high-risk individuals opting for preventive mastectomy. Candidates should be in overall good health, with realistic expectations about the reconstruction process and its outcomes.
What to Expect:
- Consultation: A comprehensive discussion with our plastic surgeon to evaluate your medical history, discuss options, and establish personalized goals.
- Surgery: Depending on the chosen technique, reconstruction may occur immediately after mastectomy (immediate reconstruction) or delayed until after cancer treatment (delayed reconstruction). Several stages may be required for optimal results.
- Recovery: Post-surgery, there will be a recovery period involving follow-up appointments to monitor healing and manage any discomfort. Physical therapy may aid in rehabilitation.
- Results: Over time, swelling will subside, incision lines will fade, and the reconstructed breast will gradually take its final shape. While scars are inevitable, our focus is on achieving natural-looking, symmetrical results that enhance confidence and well-being.
At Dr Keertana Aesthetics, our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care and exceptional results. We prioritize your comfort, aesthetic goals, and overall well-being throughout the entire reconstruction journey.
