What is Breast Reconstruction?
Breast reconstruction is a procedure that can rebuild the shape and appearance of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can help women feel more confident and comfortable with their bodies, as well as improve their quality of life.
- Breast reconstruction can be operated during the same time as breast cancer surgery, or it can be delayed until later.
- It can involve multiple surgeries and various methods. Some methods include inserting artificial devices filled with saline or silicone under the skin or muscle. Other methods involve using your own tissue from another part of your body.
Are there different types of breast reconstruction surgery?
Yes, there are different options for breast reconstruction, depending on the individual needs and preferences of each woman. Here are some types of breast reconstruction surgery in Dubai:
- Implant reconstruction
This method uses artificial devices filled with saline or silicone to create a new breast. They can be placed at the same time as the breast cancer surgery or later. They may require additional surgeries to adjust, replace, or remove them over time.
Some of the benefits of implant reconstruction
- It has a shorter recovery time
- It does not involve scars on other parts of the body
- It can create a more uniform shape and size for both breasts.
Some of the drawbacks are that it may not look or feel as natural as flap reconstruction, it may have complications such as infection or capsular contracture ( when the scar tissue around the implant becomes tight and hard), and it may interfere with breast cancer screening or treatment.
- Flap reconstruction
This method uses tissue from your own body, such as the abdomen, back, or thigh, to create a new breast. This can be done using tissue from the same area as the breast (pedicled flap) or from a different area (free flap), and it can also include an implant (hybrid reconstruction).
Some of the benefits of flap reconstruction
- It can create a more natural-looking and feeling breast,
- It can last longer than implant reconstruction,
- It can avoid some of the risks associated with implants.
Some of the drawbacks are that it has a longer and more complex surgery, it involves scars and possible complications on the donor site, and it may not be suitable for women who have certain medical conditions or who smoke.
How to prepare for breast reconstruction in Dubai?
There are some steps that you can take to prepare for breast reconstruction surgery Dubai, such as:
- Having a physical examination, lab tests, and breast imaging studies before the surgery.
- Stop smoking or vaping at least a few weeks before the surgery because it can affect your healing.
- Avoid some specific medications and supplements that can increase your bleeding risk, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E.
- Follow your surgeon's instructions on what to eat and drink before the surgery and when to stop.
- Make sure you have someone who can take you home and look after you for the first night after the surgery.
