The Breast Surgery Repair is one the most successful operations for surgeons if the breast tissue is taken due to a tumor or another disease.
With the aid of new technologies in Medical, the surgeons are able to provide natural breasts. Today, this surgery can be performed simultaneously with breast surgery ( mastectomy ). Therefore, when the operation is over, the patient gains new and natural breasts and she will get out of the psychological problems because she will have breasts after the operation.
The patients are curious about the questions below:
1- Who are the best candidates for Breast Surgery Repair?
Breast Surgery Repair can be performed for the patients whose breast tissue is taken. Many patients are also eligible to
do reconstruction with simultaneous mastectomy. However, the best candidates for Breast Surgery Repair are the ones who
got out of tumor with the aid of mastectomy. It is also recommended that the patients who smokes, have obesity and hyper
tansion should wait for the operation.
2- The most common techniques
The most commonly used technique is the expansion of skin and the placement of prothesis afterwards. After
mastectomy, a tissue expander is placed under your skin and chest wall. In flap repair, the breast can be made by taking a
tissue from your abdomen and hip. In one type of flap surgery; skin, subcutaneous layer of fat and muscle tissue continues to
be bound to the adhesive area by a vein. Moreover, with the aid of a tunnel under the skin, it is moved to the place of breast.
3- Are the patients going to have any trace after the operation?
Both surgical methods are more complex operations than the prosthetic methods.
There will be traces in the places where the tissue is taken and there will be also a trace in the place where the breast is
made. Besides, the healing process is longer than prosthesis method.
On the other hand, if you have breast reconstruction with your own tissue, it will give more natural results and there is no
concern about silicone As long as the quality of reconstruction is high, you will pay less attention to these traces
Sometimes the shape of your abdomen and getting rid of excessive and fat tissue can be more significant for you.
4- Is it possible to get a good and satisfactory result after the operation?
In Breast Reconstruction Surgery, you need to have an operation more than once. The first surgery is the most complexone; and the second surgery is easier. If reconstruction method is selected with tissue expander, that tissue expander can be
removed and a prothesis can be placed or nipple and aerola reconstruction can be done.
5- Am I going to have different breast in comparison with the previous one?
Your new breast may appear more tough, round and flat than your original breast.
It may not have contour in pre-mastectomy or it may not be exactly symmetrical to your other breast. These differences
can be easily noticed.
For many mastectomy patients, it improves the image and the quality of life dramatically.
6-What will happen after the operation?
Bleeding, fluid collection or anestesia are the general problems of surgery and these problems can also occur after the
surgery. However it does not always occur.
If the prosthesis methos is used, there will be a risk of infection rarely in two weeks. In such cases, it may be necessary to
remove the prothesis and put it back several months later.
7- What are the basic problems after the operation?
The most common problem is the capsular contracture. That capsular contracture reveals when the scar tissue around the
prosthesis presses the prothesis. Thus, the feeling of tough breast exposes. There are some tretment methods for capsule
contracture. Capsule contracture may require the removal or relief of scar tissue and replacement of prothesis.
