A breast cancer diagnosis is a very difficult time in any woman’s life. It’s not only difficult from an oncological or cancer standpoint-knowing that you must go through treatment and surgery but also, from a reconstructive plastic surgery standpoint where patients will start questioning, “Well, what will I look like without a breast or a reconstructed breast,” and they have legitimate concerns about body image.

Here at Gardner Plastic Surgery we see a lot of patients with breast cancer and we have preoperative consultations to explain to them what their reconstructive options are. Now, given the different types of surgeries that may exist, there are various options for reconstructions. We can use implants, we can use your own tissue, or even a combination of both in certain circumstances.

Every patient is different, every patient is unique, and the goals that each patient may have will help us decide together what is the best option for breast reconstruction for you. If you’re seeking breast reconstruction or have had reconstruction in the past and are seeking options to improve your size, shape, or symmetry, please don’t hesitate to come see us for your consultation.

Navigating the Breast Reconstruction Process

Individualized Consultation: The journey begins with a one-on-one consultation, where our surgeons assess your unique circumstances, answering questions and addressing concerns.  

Varied Surgical Approaches: Breast Reconstruction techniques are diverse, utilizing natural tissues, implants, or a combination based on individual needs. Whether utilizing fat transfers via liposuction, direct to implant technique, fat grafting, or using tissue expanders (a two-stage surgery), our surgeons craft a tailored plan to achieve natural, aesthetically pleasing results. 

Thoughtful Recovery: Understanding that recovery is as vital as the procedure itself, Naples Plastic Surgery prioritizes your comfort. Post-procedure recovery is monitored with care at the local hospital where the procedure will take place.

Post-Mastectomy Breast Reconstruction in Naples 

While many breast reconstruction surgeries are conducted soon after the mastectomy, the procedure can also be performed months or years after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. 

Prior to any surgery, our surgeons always meet with their individual patients in a one-on-one consultation and physical examination to evaluate all elements of the planned reconstructive procedure. This evaluation will be tailored according to whether the mastectomy is planned or has already been performed, with typical elements addressed during the consultation including:

  • Surgical Options
  • Implant Options
  • Patient’s Surgical History
  • Mastectomy/ Lumpectomy
  • Existing Medical Conditions, Allergies and Medical Treatments
  • Patient’s Surgical Expectations and Limitations
  • Post Surgery Treatment and Recovery Regimen

Recovering from Post-Mastectomy Reconstruction  

The recovery period for post-mastectomy breast reconstruction depends largely upon the scope of the mastectomy and reconstruction, as well as the overall health of the patient. Usually, as an outpatient procedure, most patients are released to go home several hours after the procedure, though some stay overnight at the hospital for additional monitoring.

After the procedure itself, patients can expect to experience bruising, swelling, and soreness in procedure areas, but this will be alleviated with prescribed pain and anti-inflammatory medications. Your surgeon may suggest other post-operative care conditions as warranted. Many patients are able to return to work and most normal daily activities within two weeks, though some patients may need additional recovery time.
