Women's breasts are beautiful and fragile, and they are always threatened by many kinds. Breast cancer is the most serious kind. Many women have to have their breasts removed because of breast cancer. Can a lost breast be reconstructed?
In fact, tumor resection can also be used for breast reconstruction as long as conditions permit. When the tumor is removed and the breast is basically stable, breast reconstruction can be considered. The first step of breast reconstruction is surgical design, including the selection of breast reconstruction methods, the shape and modeling of new breasts, the measurement of tissue volume, the selection of optimal tissue flap transfer, shaping, cosmetic modification and postoperative treatment. The methods of breast reconstruction can be divided into two categories: breast prosthesis reconstruction and autologous tissue reconstruction.
Prosthetic breast reconstruction, the method is to put the prosthesis filled with silica gel, silica gel or normal saline under the flap or pectoralis major muscle after mastectomy. If after mastectomy, the local tissue can't provide enough cavity to accommodate the prosthesis with the required size, a skin dilator can be placed first, and water can be injected regularly after operation. When a sufficient cavity is formed, the dilator can be replaced with a breast prosthesis again.
Breast reconstruction with autologous fat. Autologous fat breast reconstruction is breast reconstruction with autologous tissue as donor area and tissue transplantation. By choosing to use your own materials for breast augmentation surgery, you can quickly integrate with the body after surgery, and there are no side effects and rejection reactions after surgery.
Breast reconstruction surgery should not only create a perfect breast shape, but also create a realistic nipple and areola. There are many surgical methods for breast reconstruction, and different situations have different solutions. The reconstruction of nipple areola flap provides more tissue, better blood supply and better sensory recovery, and the nipple can maintain a certain height. In addition, dermal scar tissue or tissue substitute can be used to fill the nipple to increase its convexity.
