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.

Toronto Transit bylaws
Toronto has two bylaws related to the transit system that often confuse or surprise visiting drivers:
If a bus is signalling intent to merge into traffic from a stop, you must yield to the bus.
If a streetcar in front of you and travelling in your direction has its doors open, you cannot pass the open doors.
However, if a traffic island (it'll look like a raised median with a transit shelter on top) separates the streetcar from your lane, you may pass with caution.
Additionally, drivers are advised that Torontonians generally take their obligation to give a wide berth to emergency vehicles quite seriously: if you hear sirens or see lights, pull over to the side of the road safely but quickly.

Toronto By plane
Pearson International Airport (YYZ) (or LBPIA - Lester B. Pearson International Airport) is about 45 minutes by car from the downtown core and is serviced by most major international carriers. There are two terminals: Terminal 1 hosts all Air Canada flights and a few other international carriers, while Terminal 3 hosts all other airlines including WestJet and Zoom. (There is no Terminal 2 anymore.)
Several options exist for getting downtown from Pearson:
Airport Express bus service is quick, convenient, and frequent (peak periods: every 20 minutes; off-peak periods: every 30 minutes). It picks up at both terminals, and stops at several major hotels in the downtown core. Adult fares are $16.45 one way, $28.35 for round trips. -
