Reconstruction after Breast Cancer Surgery

Blair Plastic Surgery - proud sponsor of Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day (BRA Day) Dr. Louton is frequently consulted by cancer specialists and patients before decisions are made regarding cancer treatment. Knowing your options can help you to be better prepared when it comes to making important choices about treatment. For many patients, the possibility of breast reconstruction and the amazing advances made in the field of reconstruction make it easier to accept an oncologist’s recommendations involving mastectomy.

The best reconstruction option for you depends on the type of cancer treatment you have had, along with your body type and the preference of you and your surgeon. Having Dr. Robert Louton involved in your case prior to lumpectomy or mastectomy is clearly to your benefit, whether or not you decide to undergo reconstruction.

The Breast Reconstruction Process

Breast reconstruction involves one or more procedures designed to restore normal breast appearance. Depending on your needs, it may involve:

  • Recreation of the nipple, areola, and breast mound
  • The addition of natural tissue or implants
  • The excision of excess skin or fat

In cases where both breasts are being reshaped, additional breast surgery procedures may be necessary to ensure matching breast contours.

Breast reconstruction may involve the use of artificial breast tissue in the form of breast implants. In a process called flap reconstruction, the patient’s own skin, muscle, and fat may be harvested from another part of the body and transplanted to the breast. During your thorough evaluation, Dr. Louton will discuss your options and recommend the ideal type of reconstruction for your situation.
