The Breast Reconstruction Surgery Procedure
Perioperative

It is the preparatory phase for the procedure. Before the procedure, our aesthetic surgeons will ask you about your concerns, goals, and expectations for the surgery. Then, our surgeons will examine you. In addition, you will require some medical tests to ensure that you are fit enough to have the procedure. Our surgeons will also advise you to stop some medications like aspirin and stop smoking.

Intraoperative

Breast reconstruction is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, depending on the state of your health. The medications will make the surgery painless and comfortable for you.

Two procedures are used for breast reconstruction. Our surgeons will decide which is best for you.

Flap procedure: For this procedure, our surgeons will meticulously take tissue from a donor site in your body to reconstruct your breasts.

Breast implant procedure - for this procedure, our surgeons will place silicone implants in your breast tissue to restore your breast shape and size. This procedure can be done alongside the flap technique.

Our dexterous surgeons can also restore your nipple by expertly using a fold of skin to create the nipple and restoring the areola by tattooing the skin area around the nipple. After the goals of the surgery are achieved, the surgical site is closed with stitches or skin glue.

Postoperative

It is the recovery period. Immediately after the breast reconstruction, bandages will be applied to the surgical site. Our plastic surgeons will prescribe medications and a special bra to shorten your recovery period and quicken your healing. Also, our plastic surgeons will give you instructions on the care of the surgical site. In a few months, you will recover fully from the procedure.
