Breast reconstruction
The reconstruction of the breast after a cancer is one of the current surgical procedures within the plastic surgery safer and more rewarding for the patient. The development of new techniques allows the plastic surgeon to create a breast very similar in shape, texture and characteristics to the non-operated.
Which is the best way?
One of the first options is the two-time reconstruction, which consists of putting a skin expander and later, changing the expander in a second time for a definitive implant.
In addition, in most cases it is possible to do the reconstruction while the breast is removed, avoiding the patient's experience of mastectomy.
