Breast Reconstruction Procedure

This procedure is designed for women who underwent breast amputation after breast cancer or other conditions. Newer techniques allow the surgeon to create a breast which is very similar to the natural one. The reconstruction can be done during the amputation procedure, or a few months or even a year afterwards.

There are a number of implants: the most widely used are silicon implants which have silicon surface and filling. They come in different sizes and shapes.

Becker implants are made of a thick silicon surface (35%-50%) and a solution filling. The advantage of this implant is the ability to adjust its shape to the woman`s body. It can also serve as a skin stretcher. There are also implants with a thin silicon surface and a solution filling, which are less used.

The operation can be divided into 2 main categories: (a) a stretcher is inserted, then replaced with an implant; (b) the reconstruction is made from another body tissue.

Here is some General Information about China:

China People

China is a very diverse place with large variations in culture, language, customs, and economic levels. The economic landscape is particularly diverse. The major cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai are rich and modern. However, more than half the population, some 800 million rural residents, still live as peasants, farming with manual labour or draft animals. Many of these men and women live in severe poverty. A Chinese government estimate [1] as of 2005 had 90 million living on under ¥ 924 ($112 US) a year; 26 million were under the official poverty line, ¥ 668 ($81 US) a year.



The most common reconstruction is performed with a stretcher and an implant. After amputation a balloon (stretcher) is inserted under the skin and chest muscles. It has a special valve which can be filled from outside. The implant is being filled gradually with a special solution, until the skin has sufficiently stretched for inserting the implant. It takes another 3-6 months until the breast has acquired its final shape, then the nipple can be reconstructed as well.

Becker implants: sometimes during amputation the skin can be preserved. That would eliminate the need for a stretcher, and a permanent implant (Becker) can be inserted right away.

The breast can also be reconstructed with body tissue from areas with extra skin and fat, like the tummy, buttocks and back. The tissue being removed is called "a flap". Common sites to acquire the flap are the lower tummy and the lotissimus dorsi muscle from the back.

China breast reconstruction - News update:
The Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) has issued a review of milnacipran for fibromyalgia. This agent is a serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant, and preliminary evidence (‘methodologically weak’ Phase II and unpublished Phase III) suggests that it may benefit some patients with fibromylagia, although adverse effects may limit its use. Initial reports of longer term studies suggest that patient withdrawal from medication, seen in excess of 25% in Phase II studies, continues at a high rate. The agency concludes: “Based on the limited clinical trial results to date, it is unclear if milnacipran will provide an advantage over existing treatment in terms of efficacy or fewer adverse effects. It is also unclear how safe and effective milnacipran will be as an adjunct to existing treatments and in patients with co-morbid conditions”. More...


This procedure can be complicated due to implant infection, a contraction of a surface of an implant, silicon leaks and anesthetic complications.

You`ll need to stay in hospital 2-7 days after the surgery, while you may feel pain and weakness for a week or two. Complete recovery may take up to 6 weeks, depending on the surgery. You may have an unusual sensation in the breast that would usually disappear over time. In most cases there could be a slight asymmetry between the breasts, however, most women report a significant improvement in their social life and self esteem.

China breast reconstruction - Tip of the day:
How breast reconstruction is accomplished using flap reconstruction
While performing breast construction using the flap reconstruction procedure, the cosmetic surgeon in China(CN) takes tissue for a certain part of the patient’s body. The most common areas from which tissue is taken are the buttocks, back, abdomen and thigh. This is an extremely delicate procedure and hence you need to engage the services of a highly skilled plastic surgeon to do this for you.
