Reconstructive surgery

This surgery can be performed for a variety of reasons including rupture of implant or desire to have the implant removed.

Creating a new breast after one is removed, usually due to breast cancer. New breast can be created with an implant, your own body fat or by rearranging tissue from another part of your body to fill in the space.

Scars can become painful and more exaggerated at times. This can be improved by injecting the area with steroid or surgically removing the old scar to improve contour, look and feel.

• Breast reconstruction is different for every patient. One option is to place tissue expanders in the breast pocket after a mastectomy. A small amount of fluid is then injected on a weekly basis in clinic until the desired volume is reached. The tissue expanders are then removed and the permanent implant is placed. Tissue expanders may be needed in patients who will need radiation therapy or for patients who desire to have larger breasts after reconstruction.
• Tissue expansion can be done in situations where more skin is needed for closure during surgery. The procedure can be planned months in advance.
