Pearl is distressed, her husband is rational, and her son is distressed. * * * The surgeon transferred her to my clinic to discuss the possibility of immediate reconstruction. I gave her a physical examination, middle-aged and plump, and her abdomen was a little bloated, just enough for her to make a * * * with a little fullness and a little drop shape.
When explaining the way of reconstruction surgery, you can see Pearl's anxiety. Like many patients, she looked up and asked her family, "Is this really necessary? 」
After the discussion, at the insistence of her son, Mingzhu decided to remove the cancerous * * * and create a new one. Total resection was performed by * * * surgeon, and I took over the microsurgical reconstruction, using the patient's lower abdominal tissue for reconstruction, that is, the deep abdominal artery perforator flap.

What is the perforator flap of inferior deep abdominal artery? In the process of reconstruction, in order to transfer the fat in the lower abdomen to the chest safely and shape the shape of * * *, doctors must re-establish the blood circulation of the fat in the lower abdomen. In order not to affect the abdomen, the blood vessels that pass through the abdominal muscles and reach the fat, that is, the deep inferior abdominal artery and vein, are separated by microsurgery and brought to the chest together, and then the blood vessels are reconnected by microsurgery to find a new destination for blood vessels and fat.
Pearl was immediately recreated and the surgeon saved her skin. After the operation, she recovered very well, wearing a deep V-neck dress, slightly revealing her career line. Every time we go back to the clinic, we are happy to see her optimistic and cheerful smile.
Mingzhu said, "I am very grateful to my son. He insisted that I rebuild. You see, Dr. Huang, his appearance has not changed, his life is convenient, just like before the operation, and, ah, his lower abdomen is gone, so he looks better in clothes.

During the follow-up visit, she said these words to me many times. Sometimes, compared with some patients who work alone, I often think of that lucky pearl.
Patients who want to do * * * reconstruction, just like people who want to do various operations, are inevitably stressed, worried about the success of the operation, worried about the pain, worried about themselves and their families. The reconstruction of * * * sometimes bears double pressure. Not everyone can get support, and it is often labeled as "It is important to save your life and love beauty!" Such a label. They often have to face pressure from all sides, especially those breast cancer sisters who have undergone total resection, finished treatment and are ready to postpone reconstruction.
Some patients also told me that their families did not support it. The family is simply kind and distressed. I hope those who finally succeed in fighting cancer will not have surgery again.
"But they are not me. They don't understand my inconvenience and my mood, "the sisters said flatly.

My dear son is my mother's angel. Of course, there are many patients who have no time to make decisions or are ready to give up on themselves, but my husband, sister and family accompanied me all the way and insisted that they accept reconstruction. It is undoubtedly lucky to bring my family's blessings, because often after a while, they will take the initiative to share them with me. Fortunately, someone supported her and helped her make the best decision.
I asked Mingzhu, "Why is my son so smart? 」
"Because my son was busy looking for a lot of information as soon as he knew the diagnosis, I hope I can return to my best state. 」
Coincidentally, my other patient was accompanied by my son. She is a cancer friend who had a * * * resection. In addition to using the deep inferior abdominal artery perforator flap to help her reconstruct, we also implanted a breast prosthesis for her contralateral side and performed breast augmentation surgery, which fulfilled her desire to become beautiful. Some time after the operation, I even sewed her double eyelids.
"Why did you decide to rebuild? 」
"When I was removed, no one told me that I could do plastic reconstruction. I have always regretted it. My son looks at me like this. He and his girlfriend accompanied me to see Dr. Huang's clinic. 」
Looking at her efforts to take care of her son after operation, I often say to her, "You have a great child. 」
After spending so many years with patients, I deeply feel the significance of reconstruction. It is definitely not as simple as "loving beauty and plastic surgery". Patients get back not only the appearance of * * *, but a convenient life, a smooth mood and a sense of integrity.
Patients who come for plastic surgery alone are often under great pressure because of their own decisions. There are also many patients who are single and dare not tell their families about this decision. Whenever they talk about the need for a family member to accompany the operation, they are very nervous. Some patients who decided not to accept reconstruction because of various pressures told me: "It doesn't matter if there is no * * *, I will be brave. 」
Actually, I really want to give them a hug and tell them not to be so brave, okay? Let us accompany you. If you are accompanying a breast cancer patient on this road, support her, ok?

Dr. Maru's exhortation made it easy to experience the road of reconstruction: the support of family and friends. Don't forget, when they were sick, they only regained their innate talent through surgery. They don't love beauty, they love their integrity. Girls want to abort their stomachs, but the good materials for reconstruction are permanent and natural. * * * Don't be afraid when you are sick. Remember to have the plastic surgeon evaluate it. There are many ways to restore * * *. Give yourself a new chance to prepare for treatment or have passed the treatment difficulties.
