Understanding Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction at Ohio Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery is an art of healing and rejuvenation. It's a surgical endeavor meticulously tailored to restore breasts to a semblance of normalcy post-breast cancer treatment. Our comprehensive approach spans a spectrum of options, from implant-based techniques to tissue-based or flap techniques. These procedures, performed in tandem with lumpectomy or mastectomy, unfold in stages, ensuring a personalized response to the unique goals of each patient.

Surgical Techniques

We specialize in immediate or delayed reconstruction, employing innovative techniques such as tissue expanders or flaps. This nuanced approach caters to patients who may have undergone radiation therapy or lack sufficient tissue for traditional implant-based reconstruction. Nipple and areola reconstruction, a pivotal aspect of our services, ensures a holistic restoration.

Recovery Process

Recovery after breast reconstruction involves a detailed post-operative plan. Patients receive clear instructions and medications to manage any discomfort. For those with surgical drains, removal typically occurs within one or two weeks during office visits. While showering is permitted after 48 hours, we advise specific activity restrictions for approximately six weeks, ensuring a smooth recovery process.

Results and Patient Satisfaction

A successful breast reconstruction is a collaboration between Ohio Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and our patients. While a reconstructed breast may not precisely mimic the feel or sensation of a natural breast, our focus is unwavering — achieving optimal shape and symmetry and returning our patients to a sense of normalcy and comfort. Breast cancer survivors tell a story of resilience, and the satisfaction reported by our patients upon completion of the reconstruction process is profound.
