Breast Reconstruction Pittsburgh - Learn About Breast Reconstruction Procedures
Premier Plastic Surgery breast reconstruction surgery allows women who have lost a breast to cancer or disease to restore their previous appearance with breast augmentation. Pittsburgh surgeons support their practice of performing breast reconstruction surgery at the same time as a mastectomy with multiple studies that have shown the procedure is safe. Large studies indicate there is no increased recurrence if a patient has undergone breast reconstruction, and complication rates for a breast reconstruction performed at the same time as the mastectomy compared to the procedures separately are no higher.
There are various techniques used for breast reconstruction, breast augmentation, and breast enhancement. Pittsburgh surgeons at our center opt to use either a woman's own tissue or saline or silicone implants. According to a very recent study, women who had breast reconstruction had better survival odds than women who did not. Some experts attribute this finding to a feeling of better health among the women, which contributed to healthier lifestyles after the procedure by following up with their doctors after and taking better care of themselves.
There are many benefits to plastic surgery procedures, like breast reconstruction and breast augmentation. Pittsburgh plastic surgeons have been able to restore feelings of loss, helping patients that felt self-conscious and different regain confidence through these techniques. Although the breast reconstruction will not feel or look like it did prior to the breast being removed, a woman is able to restore her figure. After discussing breast reconstruction with an oncologist, the patient can decide if the surgical procedure is right for her.
