Breast Reconstructive Services Q & A

What are my breast reconstruction options?

There are several methods of breast reconstruction, including:

Implant reconstruction

In implant reconstruction, saline or silicone breast implants are directly put in at the time of your mastectomy. In certain situations, tissue expanders are placed first and then later on changed to implants.

Tissue reconstruction

In a tissue reconstruction, a plastic surgeon uses your own breast tissue to rebuild your breast.

Combination reconstruction

In a combination reconstruction, a plastic surgeon uses as much of your own tissue as possible and then uses breast implants to achieve the necessary volume.

The breast reconstruction method used depends on several factors, including coexisting medical conditions, personal preferences, past and present use of radiation, and other factors unique to you.

How long does recovery take following breast reconstruction surgery?

Recovery from breast reconstruction varies widely from one woman to another. It depends on your type of reconstruction, your other procedures and surgeries, and other individual factors.

Most women spend at least a couple of nights in the hospital after breast reconstruction surgery and then recover over the next few weeks at home.
