Breast tissue is one of the tissues that is very sensitive. Various factors such as surgical interventions due to various health problems such as breast cancer or traumatic situations such as accidents can lead to breast tissue loss and destruction. It is necessary to benefit from breast reconstruction in order to correct this damage and eliminate the loss .
Breast reconstruction is a surgical intervention medically known as breast reconstruction. Medical procedures such as tissue transplantation and breast reconstruction may be needed due to external factors such as surgical interventions or accidents due to health problems in the breast area. This need should be met by plastic surgeons by considering factors such as the patient’s general health status, medical history and expectations. Thanks to the correct breast reconstruction, it becomes possible for the individual to have a breast appearance as desired and to gain advantages in various aspects.
There are multiple application methods that can be used for breast reconstruction. When it comes to breast reconstruction, the main goal is to reconstruct the breast form. However, in order to achieve this goal, different application methods such as autologous tissue transfer or breast reconstruction with prosthesis can be used, depending on the situation. Which application method or methods will be applied is determined in line with the medical opinions of the plastic surgeon and the patient’s preferences.
Breast reconstruction is a surgical intervention that can be considered appropriate for many people. Many people can benefit from breast reconstruction, from individuals who have aesthetic problems after breast surgery to individuals who have damaged some or all of the breast tissue due to an accident. However, as with all kinds of surgical interventions, there are some criteria sought in candidates in breast reconstruction and some situations where the operation is not found suitable. Who will be suitable for breast reconstruction can be explained in more detail under a few headings.
Candidate criteria for breast reconstruction may vary depending on the situation. However, in general, the criteria for breast reconstruction are as follows:
There are some conditions that are not suitable for breast reconstruction. The first situation is, of course, that the individual is under the age of 18. It is not uncommon for individuals under the age of 18 to have situations such as the need for repair after mastectomy, and if the breast tissue is damaged in any way, breast development can be expected to be completed. In addition, the fact that individuals have extreme health problems such as diabetes and heart failure and are undergoing heavy treatment such as chemotherapy are among the conditions that are not suitable for breast reconstruction.
Different application methods can be used for breast tissue reconstruction in breast reconstruction. Each method has several advantages and domains. Some methods help to repair after mastectomy, while some methods help to restructure the breast after trauma. Breast reconstruction methods can be discussed in more detail under a few headings.
One of the most used methods for breast reconstruction is the application method performed using silicone implants. Breast reconstruction with prosthesis is a method that is much more effective and offers more convenience in some respects compared to other methods. During breast reconstruction with silicone implants, an area known as the breast pocket is created and a silicone implant suitable for the wishes and needs of the individual is placed in this area in order to fix the appearance of the breast.
Breast reconstruction with autogenous tissue is a very effective method and helps to get results in complicated problems. In this method, breast reconstruction is performed together with fat, skin and muscle tissues taken from various parts of the individual such as the belly or back . In this way, no foreign matter is needed and natural results can be obtained. Breast reconstruction with autogenous tissue can be the ideal method for individuals who care about naturalness and want to achieve permanent results.
Breast reconstruction surgery is a different and more comprehensive operation than other breast aesthetic operations. With this operation, advantageous results are obtained in many different ways because partial or complete breast loss can pave the way for many different problems for women. Therefore, breast reconstruction is one of the most advantageous plastic surgery operations. The advantages of breast reconstruction can be explained under several headings.
When it comes to breast reconstruction, one of the important advantages that comes to mind is aesthetic appearance and emotional healing. Loss of breast tissues due to health problems such as breast cancer can cause individuals to wear out both in terms of aesthetic appearance and emotionally. Breast tissue is very important for women, and situations such as destruction or loss of this tissue can pave the way for mentally problematic situations such as deterioration of the individual’s self-perception. With breast reconstruction, both aesthetic appearance and mental improvement are achieved.
The advantages of breast reconstruction should not be considered only as superficial advantages. Individuals who need breast reconstruction are usually individuals who have both physical and psychological problems, such as individuals who have lost their breast tissue as a result of the treatment they have received for breast cancer. The fact that these people regain the breast appearance they want can both allow them to blend into social life and help them feel better psychologically.
The recovery process after breast reconstruction is a very important process in terms of making aesthetic results more effective after breast surgery and not facing any complications. Therefore, it is very important that you follow the recommendations of your plastic surgeon during the recovery process, stay away from prohibited situations and adopt a healthy lifestyle in general. In addition to all these, the recovery process after breast reconstruction can be discussed more specifically under a few headings.
The most important process after breast reconstruction is the initial healing process. Things to consider during the first healing process can be explained in a few items.
After any surgical operation, it is necessary not to interrupt the controls and to be monitored by a doctor. Thanks to these controls, information is obtained about various conditions such as the condition of the individual’s breast tissue, whether the implant is in the correct position and the condition of the nipple. This information helps to decide whether important operations such as breast prosthesis revision are needed, depending on the situation.
There are a few situations in which breast reconstruction is recommended. The first situation is that the individual has a mastectomy operation, that is, the breast tissue is completely removed for the spread of cancer. In addition, breast reconstruction is recommended for patients whose breast tissue has been partially removed, not completely. The last situation in which breast reconstruction is recommended is that the individual does not have congenital breast tissue, although it is not well known. In such cases, breast reconstruction provides advantages in many different ways and can meet both aesthetic, physical and psychological needs.
What to do to ensure symmetry after breast reconstruction may vary depending on the situation. Patients who benefit from breast reconstruction are usually people who have lost a single breast tissue. Therefore, the condition of the other breast tissue is taken into consideration before surgical interventions are performed on the breast tissue where the repair process will be performed. In this way, while performing breast reconstruction, it is acted in a way to achieve a result suitable for the size and shape of the other breast tissue as much as possible. However, in some cases, various procedures such as reduction or lifting can be applied to the intact breast tissue to ensure symmetry after breast reconstruction.
Whether there will be a loss of sensation after breast reconstruction varies according to the situation. However, in general, there is a loss of sensation after breast reconstruction. Especially in patients who have undergone mastectomy and all of the breast tissue has been removed, there is a loss of sensation before breast reconstruction. Methods such as autologous tissue transfer can be used to eliminate this loss of sensation and restore the sensation in the area. However, as a result of these methods, it may not be possible to completely recover the loss of sensation and a partial loss of sensation may be permanent.
Radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be taken after breast reconstruction. However, when it comes to breast reconstruction, plastic surgeons generally argue that intervention should be made after radiotherapy or chemotherapy processes are completed. The main reason for this situation is that any intervention before the breast tissue is completely healed may cause complications or the results of the operation to become more inefficient. Therefore, breast reconstruction is usually performed after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but in some cases the opposite may be the case.
The probability of scarring after breast reconstruction surgery is quite high. Patients who have benefited from breast reconstruction surgery are generally faced with scarring. However, since it is aimed to obtain an aesthetic appearance of the individual during breast reconstruction, it is ensured that the incisions that may cause scarring are made by plastic surgeons in areas that will not show the scars too much, such as the fold or areola in the breast tissue. In addition, the color of the scars of breast reconstruction surgery lightens over time and becomes uncomfortable.
How long breast reconstruction surgery will take may vary depending on the situation. Breast reconstruction surgery is one of the most complicated operations among breast aesthetic surgeries because in this surgery, sensitive methods such as tissue transplantation and breast reconstruction, that is, autologous tissue transfer, are used. Therefore, breast reconstruction surgeries, especially those performed with tissue transfer method, can take 6-8 hours. However, breast reconstruction surgeries performed using prostheses can be completed in a shorter period of time, such as 2-3 hours.
