In 2006, 75% of patients with breast cancer have received a mastectomy followed by immediate breast reconstruction<\/strong>.<\/p>

Autologous tissue reconstruction DIEP (free flap from the abdomen) is our number 1 choice. This involves transferring skin and fat from the abdomen to the thoracic region using microsurgery (DIEP), or reconstructing a breast from the patient's own fat (lipostructure) following liposuction.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Breast reconstruction<\/strong> with autologous tissue (latissimus dorsi pedicled) is seldomly practiced nowadays.<\/p>

Despite this, the breast reconstruction<\/strong> by silicone anatomical implant is the mostly performed procedure. The prosthesis is selected according to three parameters (height, projection and base) and the weight of the gland to be resected.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A woman's breasts are an integral part of her sense of self, and a diagnosis of breast cancer can be life-changing. Breast reconstruction<\/strong> helps restore physical and emotional balance after breast cancer surgery.<\/p>

It's important that every woman diagnosed with breast cancer sees a reconstructive plastic surgeon<\/a> soon after her diagnosis. Decisions made early in the treatment plan can affect the outcome of reconstruction, and it's important that every woman diagnosed with breast cancer be informed of her reconstruction options so she can make an informed decision.<\/p>

Ideally, breast reconstruction<\/strong> should be performed at the same time as the mastectomy. In other cases, reconstruction is carried out at a later date for medical or personal reasons. It's important to involve your reconstructive surgeon as early as possible to create the best plan for your health.<\/p>

The reconstructive surgical plan includes a balancing procedure to restore symmetry after breast reconstruction. This may include a breast lift<\/a>, breast augmentation<\/a>, breast reduction<\/a> or fat grafting on the opposite breast to achieve a full, balanced appearance.<\/p>

Breast reconstruction<\/strong> can have a huge, positive impact on a woman's life after breast cancer. Finding the right plastic surgeon<\/strong> will make all the difference in the safety and success of your procedure.<\/p>

To find out more about breast reconstruction, contact Dr.Elias in Geneva<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
