Methods
- Restoring with autologous tissue (Latissimus dorsi and DIEP)
- Restoring with breast implants (Prosthesis and extender)
- Restoring with fat grafting
- Mixed restoring
In any of the previous cases, breast restoring should be completed by a small procedure, local anesthesia, of 30 minutes for the restoring of the areola and the nipple (CAP).
As well, after assessing the general state of the patient, the oncology situation of her illness (degree, extension), and many other factors we will inform you of the options most appropriate to your age, health, features physical and anatomical, future expectations.
- Restoring with breast implants
There are two alternatives for breast implants and, therefore, two types of reconstructive surgical treatments:
1 – Reconstruction using EXTENDER requires two surgeries under general anesthesia. This surgery involves the introduction of an extender which we will progressively increase in size by injection of normal saline, every 2 weeks, to recover skin that has had removed to receive it you mastectomy. In that way, once the skin has given enough, this extender is replaced by permanent breast prosthesis approximately 3-6 months after the first intervention.
2 – In case of making an immediate restoring, we will make a restoring with a single surgery using PROSTHESIS , that is to say, only with one intervention. The prosthesis used in this kind of reconstruction are cohesive silicone gel with anatomical shape, that is, natural breast, not round-shaped. They also have a greater projection so the aesthetic result will be even more positive.
