Breast
Reconstruction
Restores the appearance of breasts
that have been surgically removed
because of cancer or other diseases.
Breast reconstruction can help a
woman's breasts look balanced while
wearing a bra, permanently regain
breast contour, and to give the
convenience of not needing an external
prosthesis.

Length
Usually, 2-4 hours.
Side Effects
Loss of normal sensation to the breast, though
some feeling may return.
Recovery
May take about 6 weeks to recover from a combined
mastectomy and reconstruction or from a flap
reconstruction alone. Most scars fade over time,
but may take a few years to lighten.
Risks
Bleeding, fluid collection, excessive scar tissue,
infection, and problems with anesthesia. The
implant can shift or leak, requiring its removal.
Using an implant carries a remote risk of infection
or capsular contraction, a condition that makes
the scar, implant, and breast feel hard. Capsular
contracture may be treated with additional surgery
to remove the scar tissue. With any flap procedure,
there is risk that it may not reattach well
to blood vessels, block blood flow and reject
the flap.
Results
Permanent. Usually require follow-up procedures.
Technology
New technology and techniques have made it possible
for surgeons to recreate a new breast that closely
matches a natural breast. A patient's own body
tissue is used in various operations known as
a TRAM, DIEP and EARLi procedures. Breast reconstruction
often takes place immediately after a breast
is removed (mastectomy) while the patient is
still under
anesthesia.
