Tissue expanders stretch skin and muscle for implant placement. Implants rebuild the breast mound, while predicated flaps relocate tissue with its blood supply intact for reconstruction.
Simultaneous with mastectomy surgery, immediate reconstruction occurs. Following removal of the breast by the breast cancer surgeon, the plastic surgeon promptly reconstructs the breast using tissue from another body location or with an implant, and occasionally a combination of both.
Aligning patient and surgeon expectations ensures the most optimal and secure reconstructions.
