Breast Reconstruction Georgia

Breast Reconstruction is a reconstructive procedure that has helped many women rebuild their breasts and their self-confidence after a mastectomy. Breast Reconstruction is a highly personal decision and there are a number of ways to achieve a reconstruction. Some women may opt to have the reconstruction performed at the same time as the mastectomy or it may be delayed to a later time. Ideal candidates for a breast reconstruction surgery have a positive, realistic outlook, and do not have any other medical conditions that may hinder the body’s ability to heal from the procedure.

The Breast Reconstruction procedure is performed using a couple of different techniques such as a TRAM flap technique or Latissimus Dorsi Flap technique where muscle, fat, and skin may be used from a donor area of the patient such as at he abdomen or the back and moved to re-create the breast mound. Breast implants may be use in addition or as an alternative method, or breast tissue expansion may be used.
