Benefits of Breast Reconstruction Surgery After Breast Cancer

Breast reconstruction

Going through breast cancer is traumatic. You’re fighting for your life and need to do everything possible to stop this dreaded disease in its tracks. If you are like so many others, you will have to have your breasts removed. This is a difficult decision, but one that can’t be avoided. In order to have the best chances for survival, a mastectomy is often paired with chemotherapy and radiation.

During this difficult time, you will have to come to terms with the changes in your body. Breast reconstruction offers you a way to have breasts once again and feel better about yourself. You may not be able to get back the ones that were taken from you, but you can begin to feel like yourself again thanks to this procedure.

Why Choose Breast Reconstruction After Breast Cancer?

Whether you opt for breast reconstruction soon after your breasts have been removed or you wait until your treatments are over, this surgery allows you to take charge of your life. You don’t have to accept a body without breasts. For many women, it is too upsetting to face the mirror every day without breasts. Wearing prosthetic breasts may be uncomfortable, and you still have to deal with that moment when they are removed.

Breast reconstruction offers you a permanent way to have the appearance of a full bust again. It can give you confidence in yourself and help you along the way as you continue your fight. There’s no reason that you shouldn’t feel positive about your body image after battling a deadly disease. Give yourself the gift of breast reconstruction during this challenging time.

What Happens During Breast Reconstruction?

Your surgery will be tailored to fit what you want. You can decide if you want breasts that are the same size as always or if they are enhanced in any way. Our surgeon may create flaps, insert implants into your chest or use a combination approach. You will have the opportunity to express your wishes before anything is done to reconstruct your breasts.

You should be able to go home on the same day as your surgery. It is important that you have someone to help you when you first go home. Be sure to take good care of yourself and limit your amount of physical activity. You need to allow your body to heal. Once your body has fully healed, you can look in the mirror and feel more like yourself before breast cancer changed your life.
