Breast Reconstruction Implant Only Procedure
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure usually designed to reconstruct the breast of patients who have had a mastectomy due to breast cancer. Depending upon the patient, there may be several different options for breast reconstruction involving breast implants as well as using the patient's own tissues. Not every patient will be a candidate for every reconstructive technique.
This animation shows a breast reconstruction that is performed at a later date than the mastectomy. Sometimes a breast reconstruction may take place during the mastectomy.
An incision is made along the previous scar and dissection is carried down through the tissues to the chest wall.
A tissue expander is placed in the mastectomy site. A tissue expander is similar to a balloon that is deflated at the time of its placement. The balloon has a magnetic port that can be accessed through the skin for future filling.
The expander is slowly filled with saline solution over several months. This is usually performed once a week to two weeks and involves a needle placed through the breast and into the magnetic port. The expander is usually filled with 50cc's of saline each treatment until the site matches the other breast.
The nipple and areola are reconstructed with either local tissue and tattooing or a skin graft from your inner thigh.
Breast reconstruction with an implant is an option in certain candidates. Patients who have had or are going to have radiation therapy are usually poor candidates. Although this procedure is less invasive than autologous reconstruction, it requires more time and office visits to achieve the final results. Breast reconstruction is a complex procedure and results vary.
After the expander has reached the proper size, another operation is performed to place a permanent breast implant. Your surgeon may place you in a special bra or wrap you with a compression wrap. Compression garments are an important part of the recovery process. The garment provides support, comfort, minimizes swelling, and helps maintain the position of the implants.
