BREAST RECONSTRUCTION: A LIFE SALVAGE PROCEDURE

 

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION: A LIFE

 SALVAGE PROCEDURE

POST BREAST CANCER RECONSTRUCTION


Body image is akin to self esteem for the woman of Today. Diagnosis of breast cancer once considered a death sentence has now transformed into a nearly curable disease with surgery, neo adjuvant chemo- radio therapy, hormonal treatment and prophylactic mastectomies.


Once all is done and the disease is gone, the lady standing infront of the mirror is left with a choice: To Behave Normal or To Become Normal. 

Acting to be normal after the psychological and surgical trauma of the disease takes its toll over time.


Today’s woman chooses to Become Normal and Plastic Surgery aids in achieving her Goal to Become Normal. The choices are numerous and the lady chooses with the surgical team what she desires. 

Immediate reconstruction of the breast as soon as the mastectomy is performed or delayed formation of the breast mould once all the treatment modalities have resulted in remission.




NUMEROUS OPTIONS FOR COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION OF BREAST

We can recreate what is lost to disease with tissues that our own like Lat- dorsi Flap, TRAM Flap, Free Flaps from the abdomen and thighs or institute the help of silicone implants and/ or expanders.

AUTOLOGUS FLAPS AND MORE


The answer to your doubts is in discussion and the best decision shall ensue.
