What Are the Benefits of Autologous Breast Reconstruction?
Here at the Institute for Advanced Breast Reconstruction, we specialize almost exclusively in autologous breast reconstruction techniques. Not only does this give us the ability to offer safer and more reliable alternatives to implant-based reconstruction, but it enables us to significantly elevate the standards of care we can offer to patients who have undergone or are planning to undergo radiation therapy.
Our patients love autologous breast reconstruction for the following reasons:
- Implants are optional and can be avoided completely if desired.
- Autologous reconstruction improves patient satisfaction by tightening and toning excess tissue and fat in the donor area.
- The use of the patient’s own tissues creates a softer, more natural reconstructed breast.
- Patients can avoid the need for repeat surgical procedures.
Can I Have Breast Reconstruction After a Mastectomy?
Women who have suffered from breast cancer and have had a mastectomy can choose to have breast reconstruction, whether they prefer their original breast appearance or an enhanced shape and size.
Women who would like to have breast reconstruction after their mastectomy have a choice about the timing of their procedure. They may choose to have their reconstruction as a part of their mastectomy, or they may want their breast reconstruction after their mastectomy incisions are healed and their breast cancer therapy treatment is complete. Both options have pluses and minuses and can be discussed with Dr. Srinivasa as a part of your consultation.
Women considering breast reconstruction after their mastectomy should meet the following requirements:
- Are in good physical and mental health.
- Do not smoke.
- Have realistic expectations about what this procedure can achieve.
- Feel a breast augmentation will enhance their confidence or quality of life.
