What does breast reconstruction involve?

[liv]® Breast Reconstruction often involves multiple procedures that are performed in stages.[liv]® Breast Reconstruction surgery can be combined at the time of your mastectomy or can be postponed until a later date. 

[liv]® Breast Reconstruction:

Implant-based reconstruction: This method a breast implant is used to form the new breast. There may be two stages to this option. First, a temporary implant (or tissue expander) is placed under the chest muscle and gradually filled with saline to help create space for the permanent implant. This process can take a couple weeks to a couple months depending on your body’s tolerance. After the area has been stretched the long-term implant is inserted.

 Flap reconstruction : This method we use your own tissue from another part of your body to form the new breast. We can use tissue from you back, buttocks or abdomen to create the new breast mound. The results of flap reconstruction are generally more natural looking, and there are no concerns about problems with an implant in the future.
