Sacramento Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy
Choosing to Have Breast Reconstruction Surgery
Breast reconstruction following cancer treatment restores a woman's body and often augments her self-esteem. For women who are faced with mastectomy, the option of breast reconstruction can be the ultimate reassurance, enabling them to protect their health without sacrificing their appearance. Reconstruction can even be done at the time of mastectomy, though many women choose the operation after recovery from cancer treatment. Breast reconstructive plastic surgery is offered in the Folsom and Roseville area by board certified Sacramento plastic surgeons Kaufman & Clark.
Talk to Your Plastic Surgeon
The procedures for breast reconstruction vary from patient to patient, and can often be complex. Simply described, however, a cosmetic surgeon can reconstruct the breast using implants, the patient's own tissue, or a combination of the two.
The choice of reconstruction technique is complex. An individual consultation at the office of Kaufman & Clark in Sacramento is critical in understanding the options and making a sound choice for each person.
Recovery
Breast reconstruction generally requires two to three operations and recovery will vary depending on the chosen procedure.
