Breast Reconstruction
Problem:
- Loss of a breast or both breasts (mastectomy) due to cancer or other disease
- Desire to replace breasts after mastectomy
Solution:
Breast Reconstruction Surgery.
There are many options available in post-mastectomy reconstruction. New medical techniques and devices have made it possible for plastic surgeons to create a breast that can come close in form and appearance to matching a natural breast. Many times breast reconstruction is possible at the time of breast removal, so the patient wakes from surgery with a breast mound already in place.
Breast reconstruction usually involves more than one operation. During a consultation, renowned breast reconstruction Elk Grove Village surgeon Dr. Kagan will evaluate the patient's health, reconstructive options and expectations.
Options to consider include: skin expansion (insertion of a tissue expander to stretch skin to accept an implant), flap reconstruction (creation of a skin flap using tissue taken from other parts of the body) and type of implant to be used (silicone or saline). The nipple and areola are reconstructed after the breast mound is restored.
Breast reconstruction surgery, like breast reduction surgery, is not performed purely for cosmetic purposes. As such, the procedure is often covered under health insurance plans. To learn more about your options, Elk Grove Village breast lift, male breast reduction and breast reconstruction patients can consult with Dr. Kagan for in-depth information on the procedures.
Result:
- Restore natural looking breasts after mastectomy
- Reduce the size and reshape large, painful breasts (see Breast Reduction / Reduction Mammaplasty)
