Breast restoration operations are common plastic surgery after women are subjected to breast removal, so what is this process? How is it done? Here are the details:
The breast restoration process is a cumulative breast creation process in order to match the residue of the natural breast, and if your treatment plan includes the breast removal process, you must determine what you should do about the lost breast! Some women choose to have a level chest in one side and use an native (industrial breast) inside chest braces. But others choose to do the restoration process.
If you are thinking about the restoration process, you should determine your choice, with breast wounds, general practitioners and a nurse for breast care, as you can have the opportunity to get a cosmetic surgeon for breast restoration.
But remember that if you do a breast removal process, the opportunity is still on the return of cancer again. Determine the right and correct time for that, based on the consultation of a doctor.
When should the restoration process be done?
This depends on your condition, the restoration surgery can be performed at the same time that breast removal (immediate restoration) is being removed, but this is not permanently available. If you are undergoing radiotherapy after mastectomy, then we advise you to wait until its completion.
The benefits of immediate restoration include subjecting the drug at once, hospitalization for one time, as well as undergoing the recovery process for one time as well. Nevertheless, the period of anesthesia and recovery will extend if it only undergoes the breast removal process. Breast restoration can be done shortly after the initial eradication surgery, and this is called late restoration.
What is how to do the restoration process?
There are two types of restoration operations
1- Patriation surgery, in which artificial implants and self-reproduction are used, in which tissues are used from any part of the woman''s body to the breast structure. It takes a shorter restoration surgery that is short than the circulatory restoration surgery, as the crops are expandable and are slowly enlarged during a period of three to six months until it reaches the required size. This is because the skin is gradually stretched.
2- The process of generating the transplant, in which tissues are transferred from the back, back, thigh or abdomen to the chest. Where it is formed under the skin to be the new breast. Where the tissues are alive and natural, so they are a more natural shape and texture for the desired breast.
Concortive restoration surgery is a major surgery, and you must stay in the hospital for a longer period, will be exposed to scars in the place where the tissues were taken, and the new breast will tend to change in shape and size during the first few months.
Once the breast reaches the final stage in shape and size, your doctor will perform the nipple restoration. This can use part of the other breast nipple to paste it with the new breast, and tattoo the color on the skin.

Will the new breast will be compatible?
Your doctor will reconcile the new breast in the largest possible shape with the existing breast. In some cases, women consider surgery in both breasts to ensure well. This can include existing breast lifting, or making it larger or smaller.
Some women most vulnerable to breast cancer choose to remove both their breasts (dual removal surgery) and two of the renal breasts are performed, to reduce the risk of cancer again.
How can I choose?
If you are thinking about the restoration process, talk to the specialist, breast care nurse, and get advice from the restoration plastic surgery doctor.
"Speak to your surgeon to determine your choice, and try to meet some women with cancer who underwent that surgery," says Paulin Polly, 44, and her condition was diagnosed as breast cancer in 2001 and underwent a late breast restoration using tissues from the back. It will be reassured for you to get to know the opinions of women like you.
"I think it is good to do the restoration process at the same time that the eradication process is done, if possible. In this way, you will not feel any lost time during your presence there," she says.
