Breast Reconstruction Is The Solution For Women Who Go Through Breast Cancer

Any woman that is facing a removal of a breast also faces another difficult decision, the timing of and the desire for reconstructive breast surgery. While the procedure can be performed many years following breast cancer surgery, recent advances encourage patients to undergo simultaneous mastectomy and reconstruction. Simultaneous breast reconstruction offers several distinct emotional advantages: the avoidance of a non-reconstructed breast, a reduced period of postoperative discouragement in appearance, the avoidance of potentially unnatural appearing breast implants, and an improved sense of self-confidence and self-esteem. According to Dr. Hoefflin, a Los Angeles plastic surgeon, having this surgery performed at the same time will also offer several advantages: greater symmetry in shape and volume, the avoidance of another major general anesthetic procedure, and preservation of native breast skin on the reconstructed breast.
