Breast Reconstruction
Know Your Post-Mastectomy Options
Breast reconstruction utilizes several plastic surgery techniques to restore a breast to near normal shape and appearance following mastectomy.
How should I prepare for breast reconstruction?
In preparing for breast reconstruction surgery, you may be asked to:
- Get lab testing or a medical evaluation
- Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
- Stop smoking
- Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding
Breast reconstruction surgery is typically performed in a hospital setting, may include a short hospital stay and will likely use general anesthesia. Some follow-up procedures may be performed on an outpatient basis and local anesthesia with sedation may be used.
These decisions will be based on the requirements of your specific procedure and in consideration of your preferences and your doctor’s best judgment.
