Breast Reconstruction Surgery Sydney

• An implant reconstruction in which the implant is placed under the muscle or in front of the muscle to recreate the shape of the breast. This is a popular choice as the aesthetic results can be extremely good in appropriate patients. These procedures can be done in one operation , ie one stage or in two operations, two stage, where it will involve a tissue expander placed under the chest muscle to stretch it and the skin to appropriate dimensions, for the definitive implant. In one stage procedures, we see immediate placement of the final implant, with a small possibility for need for small touch up procedures down the track, which can include fat grafting, where liposuction is used to harvest fat for transplant to the breast for improved symmetry.
• Tissue reconstruction for total mastectomy reconstruction involves using one’s own tissue for breast reconstruction. Tissue from various parts of the body can now be used for autologous reconstruction. The most common areas that are harvested for the flap include the lower abdomen and the back. These flaps can be attached to their original blood supply, so called pedicled flaps or they can be completely separated from their original blood supply and microsurgery used to reconnect it to new blood vessels. These are complex, technical procedures that require special training and expertise.
• Nipple reconstruction in cases where nipple is sacrificed together with the original mastectomy is an essential part of completing the reconstructive journey. It can be performed by several methods including skin grafting for areolar reconstruction, surgical local flap reconstruction of the nipple mound, or 3D tattooing.

Breast reconstruction surgery may not be suitable for everyone which is what a consultation with Breast and Body Clinic is crucial before any decision is made. The consultation will assess your condition and general health before selecting the treatment that is best suited to you.

Before deciding to have breast reconstruction surgery, you should consider the following points:

• More than one operation may be required as part of the overall procedure
• Implants may not be suitable if you need to undergo radiotherapy as this may cause the skin around the implant to shrink. This heightens the risk of scar

You may be well suited for breast reconstruction if there are no additional medical conditions or illnesses that may impair healing and you have realistic goals for your breast size and shape.

Dr. Michael Yunaev may recommend this procedure for you if:

• You are physically healthy and at a stable weight
• You have realistic expectations
• You are a non-smoker or have stopped smoking
