Anti-Aging and Longevity Treatments Remember when you were in college and stayed up all night drinking beer, eating pizza, and partying; yet you still were able to attend class in the morning? How many of you could do that now?
If you have recently undergone a mastectomy, as part of your cancer treatment or as a preventative measure, you're probably curious about breast reconstruction options. First of all, we here at Patients Medical would like to take a moment to honor your journey. There are few surgical procedures that can have such a powerful impact on a woman as the removal of one or both of her breasts. Once you have healed physically, you can begin to decide whether or not breast reconstruction is right for you.
There are several different surgical techniques used to complete a breast reconstruction procedure. The end goal is the same: to recreate breast tissue and a nipple, and to restore the general appearance of your chest as closely as possible to its original appearance. Or, you can go all out and create the breasts you always wished you had! Either way, our doctors will work compassionately with you throughout the process, informing you of what is possible, what isn't, and the best way to reconstruct breasts that you feel comfortable with.
Your procedure can be done during your mastectomy, or after you have healed from your initial surgery and any other cancer treatments you may need to complete. The important thing is that you are as healthy as possible so your body has the opportunity to heal well.
Please be aware that your reconstructed breasts will not have the identical look, feel, and sensation as your original breasts. These differences will be discussed in more detail during your consultation.
From the physical aspect, almost any woman who is in relatively good health is a candidate for breast reconstruction. That being said, it is very important that you honor your emotional self when making this decision. Here are some questions we recommend you ask yourself, or go over with a few of your trusted loved ones, as you make your decision.
The answers to these questions will help you determine whether or not this is the right time for a breast reconstruction. If you decide you aren't ready, that's okay. You can always revisit the idea when you are ready.
In many cases, there is not enough tissue left after a mastectomy to directly insert an implant. There are two methods used to create more room.
Once there is enough room, the doctor will insert the implant of your choice: saline or silicone. You also have the option of Fat Grafting, which uses fat from one area of your body and grafts it into your new breast pocket. Lastly, a new areola and nipple will be constructed.
Our holistic medical center offers a host of different options to assist you in healing quickly and completely from your procedure. We offer pre- and post-operative programs that can be customized to your medical condition. These programs may include:
