Dr. Young perfected the transfer of autologous fat procedures in patients without prior radiation therapy. This procedure avoids current autologous flap surgery. They want to explain the Autologous Reconstruction Surgical procedure to patients.
What Are Autologous Reconstruction Surgeries, Flap Reconstruction?
The concept of this procedure is it can be performed at the time of mastectomy or delay minimally invasive reconstruction. Reconstructing and improving breast shape at a later date is every patient's choice to make.
This reconstructive surgery transfers your natural excess skin and fatty tissue used as lipo filler from the chest to the breast as donor sites to reconstruct the breasts of cancer patients. Those with excess skin avoid implants or donor sites in other body areas. Radiation patients are excellent candidates.
Benefits of This Procedure
Constructive Plastic Surgery in Garden City, NY, explains that the perfected Autologous Reconstruction Surgery has many benefits.
This procedure uses your skin as donor sites because the results offer the same skin color and texture. Some patients require future minor surgery tweaks to reshape the breast and or nipples to improve results.
You may not require further minor tweaks as it depends on the outcome of your first procedure. However, most women don't need additional reconstruction. We will discuss this once you view the results of your first procedure after the healing process.
Factors To Consider
- Breast size
- Body type
- Further scheduled cancer treatments
- Pregnancy plans
- Possible further adjustments, minor procedures reshaping, repositioning breasts, and nipples provide the best results
- Discomfort, fatigue, soreness
- Possible pain relief options
- Temporary and removal of drainage tubes
- Six weeks of healing, decreased activities
- Suspend some daily activities temporarily
