Who Is Breast Reconstruction For?
Breast reconstruction is a highly specialized restorative surgery that helps patients regain the natural appearance and feel of their breasts. This procedure is ideal for the following groups:
- Breast cancer patients who have undergone full or partial mastectomy
- Patients who have lost part or all of their breasts due to disease or injury
- Patients with asymmetrical breasts who wish for their breasts to be proportionate
If you feel that our breast reconstruction procedure may be right for you, talk to our Board-certified plastic surgeon about what you hope to obtain from this treatment.
If you feel overwhelmed by the decision, don’t worry – we will help you identify which of our breast reconstruction procedures is ideal for your needs based on a variety of individual factors, including:
- Age
- Lifestyle
- Cosmetic needs
- Treatment history
- General health and wellness
- Medical conditions and needs
During your initial consultation, we will thoroughly assess each component and recommend the best treatment for your needs. Rest assured that our staff will be with you every step of the way, starting with the initial consultation.
Your Initial Consultation for Breast Reconstruction
Dr. Abramson will thoroughly assess your needs and establish how best to perform breast reconstruction surgery. During your initial consultation, he will:
- Provide you with a full medical consultation
- Review the procedure from start to finish
- Review the risks, downtime, and recovery
- Give you personalized recommendations to help you achieve optimal results and a smooth recovery
This is the optimal time to approach Dr. Abramson with all your questions and concerns. He will provide a personalized list of instructions, directions, and guidance for your breast reconstruction procedure and recovery. You will also discuss the type of reconstruction you will get. Dr. Abramson performs DIEP flap, latissimus dorsi flap, and TRAM flap reconstructions, with each having their own unique benefits.
Your Breast Reconstruction Procedure
The surgery will be personalized based on your individual needs, and will be performed under anesthesia. You will need at least one full day for the procedure and several weeks of recovery afterward.
Typically, Dr. Abramson will transfer a section of your body, including the skin, muscle, fat, and blood vessels, to your chest to create the new mound that will form your breast. This may be sufficient on its own, or if the resulting shape and size are inadequate, it may be augmented with a breast implant.
We recommend that patients arrange a ride to and from our office on the day of their procedure to ensure a safe drive post-anesthesia.
You will be required to rest for a few weeks as you heal from your breast reconstruction procedure in New York. Please refrain from moving your chest muscles as much as possible, abstain from working out, and do not resume smoking if you are a habitual smoker. If you follow the guidance and instructions of our outstanding medical staff as directed, you can reasonably expect a swift and optimal recovery.
