Dallas Breast Reconstruction Surgery

For women who have asymmetric development of their breasts, abnormal development as a consequence of trauma or burns or who are about to or have experienced a mastectomy, breast reconstruction offers the opportunity to have their body image improved or restored.

Additionally, many women who suffer from breast cancer or who have a strong family history of breast cancer may have a mastectomy, removing either one or both breasts. In some circumstances it may be possible to have reconstructive surgery at the time of the mastectomy or more often, reconstruction is performed as a separate procedure so that treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy can be completed. It can be a lengthy and intricate process but Dr. Saretsky and the patient work together toward achieving the best possible aesthetic result.

Breast Reconstruction Stages

The breast reconstruction procedure follows three stages

  1. Stage One:
     
     
  2. Stage Two:
     
     
  3. Stage Three:
  • Reconstruction immediately following mastectomy or as a delayed procedure some time after both the mastectomy and possible further treatment (radiotherapy and chemotherapy).
  • Nipple reconstruction on the reconstructed breast, plus a balancing procedure on the opposite breast to create symmetry if required.
  • Nipple areola tattooing.

Breast Reconstruction Recovery

The recovery period is usually four to six weeks following the first stage procedure, but is far shorter following the later stages.

Breast reconstruction is a excellent procedure to help patients cope with the psychological effects of a mastectomy and to make you feel whole again. All women having a mastectomy should at the very least have the option to discuss possible breast reconstruction.
