Breast Reconstruction after Cancer Surgery

At Dr. Namrata (Agarwal) Mahansaria’s clinic, we offer breast reconstruction surgery as part of our comprehensive approach to breast cancer treatment. Breast reconstruction is a transformative procedure that aims to restore the shape, symmetry, and appearance of the breast after cancer surgery. Dr. Namrata and her team are committed to providing personalized and compassionate care, helping breast cancer survivors regain confidence and a sense of wholeness.

The Importance of Breast Reconstruction:

Breast reconstruction plays a vital role in the overall well-being and quality of life for breast cancer survivors. It not only helps restore physical appearance but also contributes to emotional healing and self-esteem. By recreating a natural-looking breast, reconstruction surgery can enhance body image, improve self-confidence, and promote a sense of closure after cancer treatment.

Options for Breast Reconstruction:

We offer various options for breast reconstruction, including:

  1. Implant-based Reconstruction:

    • In this approach, breast implants are used to reconstruct the breast mound.
    • Saline or silicone implants are inserted either behind the chest muscle or directly behind the breast tissue.
    • Implant-based reconstruction may require multiple surgeries to achieve the desired results.

  2. Autologous Tissue Reconstruction:

    • Autologous tissue reconstruction involves using the patient’s own tissue to reconstruct the breast.
    • Common techniques include TRAM flap (transverse rectus abdominis muscle), DIEP flap (deep inferior epigastric perforator), and latissimus dorsi flap.
    • This method provides a more natural feel and appearance but requires more extensive surgery and longer recovery time.

  3. Combination Approach:

    • In some cases, a combination of implant-based reconstruction and autologous tissue reconstruction may be used to achieve the best possible results.
    • Dr. Namrata will assess your unique situation and discuss the most suitable options during the consultation.
Personalized Treatment Plan:

Dr. Namrata (Agarwal) Mahansaria understands that every breast cancer survivor has unique needs and preferences. She will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and concerns. During the consultation, she will thoroughly evaluate your medical history, examine the surgical site, and discuss the available options. Together, you will determine the most appropriate reconstruction technique and develop a comprehensive plan tailored to your specific circumstances.

Timing of Reconstruction:

Breast reconstruction can be performed at different stages of breast cancer treatment:

  • Immediate Reconstruction: Reconstruction is done at the same time as the mastectomy or lumpectomy surgery.
  • Delayed Reconstruction: Reconstruction is performed after the completion of cancer treatment, including radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Dr. Namrata will guide you in deciding the optimal timing based on your individual situation and treatment plan.
Recovery and Aftercare:

After breast reconstruction surgery, our dedicated medical team will closely monitor your recovery and provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions. You may experience temporary discomfort, swelling, and restricted movement in the initial stages. Dr. Namrata will guide you on pain management, wound care, and when to resume regular activities. Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to assess your healing progress and address any concerns that arise.
