Breast Reconstruction Tips and Advice
  •  Breast reconstruction is a medical procedure
    where the patient who has suffered pain, injury
    or have had an operation in the area of the chest
    is to undergo reconstruction of  both form and
    function. Surgeons with the license and
    qualifications to perform the surgery are
    basically the same with people who perform
    cosmetic surgery operations. This operation may
    be performed for two breasts or just one,
    depending on the need and the preferences of the
    patient.

The doctor can also make recommendations
regarding the decisions that the patient will
make. There are many options that a patent may
decide on. Breast implants and fillers are
popular choices for women who wish to go back the
form of their chest after a mastectomy.

 After such an operation, there are some tissues
that has been affected, so the doctor can
actually recommend the minimum size of the
implant that will be needed. Some women find that
breast reconstruction surgery is a good
opportunity to enhance or augment their
appearance.
Breast reconstruction can also come in the form
of filling in a lump not an entire cavity. A
lumpectomy can be performed on a woman if there
is a lump taken from the chest. This means that
both breasts are still present but a small lump
or area has been taken from just one or both. The
medication that may be administer on the patient
is also something that the woman has a choice
with. Doctors should run through the list of
medicines and drugs that will be used for the
procedure. This is to check and see if there are
any to which the woman is unfamiliar with. Even
the ones to be used for the recovery period
should also be checked by the doctor to make sure
there will be no adverse side effects from this
angle. These options for breast reconstruction
are just a few of the more common ones that women
have. This technique is called lipo-filling.
Tissue expanders are also another option for
women.
