Breast reconstruction surgery in Merida

Breast Reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the breasts after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. This intervention offers women the opportunity to regain their appearance and self-esteem after a breast cancer diagnosis. In this article, we will explore in detail what breast reconstruction is, the types of surgery available, and key factors to consider.

What is breast reconstruction and when is it necessary?

Breast reconstruction is surgery designed to recreate breasts that have been lost due to a mastectomy or lumpectomy. This process may require multiple surgeries, and there are various techniques to carry it out. Some of these techniques use silicone or saline breast implants, while others involve the transfer of tissue from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen.

Who are candidates for breast reconstruction?

Ideal candidates for breast reconstruction include:

• Those individuals who cannot correct breast loss through alternative medical treatments.
• Individuals in good health without medical conditions that jeopardize recovery.
• Non-smokers and non-drug users, as these habits can negatively affect surgical outcomes.
• People with realistic expectations and a positive outlook on improving their physical appearance.
• Individuals with a relatively normal weight and stable breast development.
• Those who feel uncomfortable with the lack of breasts and wish to regain their previous appearance.

Types of breast reconstruction surgery

There are two main types of breast reconstruction surgery:

Flap Reconstruction: In this technique, tissue is taken from the patient’s own body, known as autologous tissue, to form a new breast. Tissue is commonly extracted from the lower abdomen, although it can also come from the thigh, back, or buttocks. The surgeon may preserve muscles in some cases, while in others, transplantation may be necessary. Types of flap reconstruction include DIEP, TRAM, latissimus dorsi (LD), IGAP, SGAP, PAP, TUG, and SIEA.

Implant Reconstruction: In this variant, surgeons use silicone or saline implants to recreate breast tissue. This option can be performed simultaneously with the mastectomy or at a later date. Implants can also be combined with autologous tissue, depending on the patient’s needs.
