Harris M.D., FACS Reconstruction of a breast that has been removed due to cancer or the risk of cancer, or that has been deformed by treatment of a previous breast cancer (such as lumpectomy and radiation) is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures available today. New surgical techniques and devices have made it possible to create a breast that can come close in form and appearance to matching a natural breast. Along with the most common indication, the reconstruction of a breast immediately after mastectomy, surgical techniques are available to correct a deformity related to breast conservation therapy or postoperative radiation, improve the results of an unsatisfactory breast reconstruction, salvage a failed breast reconstruction, or create a breast in a delayed fashion months or years after mastectomy. Some women choose either immediate or delayed breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Sometimes the result is less than expected, with asymmetry, poor breast shape, implant firmness or contracture, implant deformity, poor nipple projection, or poor areola definition. Rarely, the chosen reconstructive techniques fail completely. While the patients’ anatomy often limits the degree of symmetry, women need to be aware that additional surgery may significantly improve the result, providing a significant boost of self-esteem. Evaluation and treatment to improve results can be done months or even years after the primary reconstructive surgery. One of the newer advances in reconstructive surgery after breast cancer treatment involves fat grafting. In this procedure, fat is removed from donor areas of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, hips, or thighs, and grafted into the breast. The most common indication for this procedure is to soften the interface between an implant used for breast reconstruction and the surrounding soft tissues. Fat can also be added to a tissue-based reconstruction to Good Advice New surgical techniques can create a breast that can come close in form and appearance to a natural breast. advertisement soften contours or to enlarge the breast mound. State and Federal law mandate that reconstructive breast surgery for correction of deformity or asymmetry after breast cancer surgery be covered by health insurance plans. With the introduction of genetic testing for mutations in the BRCA gene, many women with strong family history of breast cancer or women who have developed breast cancer at a relatively young age, can be tested to determine if a known genetic mutation may explain the clinical situation. Since the lifetime risk of developing breast cancer in women with BRCA mutations is much higher than the average woman, risk-reducing surgery to remove the breasts prophylactically (to prevent cancer) is often performed. Primary consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in breast reconstructive techniques is important to allow women to understand the level of cosmetic outcomes achievable in each case. Comprehensive multidisciplinary care (including discussion with a gynecologist regarding management of the ovaries) allows women with a BRCA mutation to make informed decisions regarding her options. The right reconstructive choice is based on the individual patients’ anatomy, the individual patients’ expectations, and a customized evaluation of the risks and benefits of each procedure. At Harris Plastic Surgery, our staff strives to provide expert and compassionate care to women considering the many options for reconstruction after mastectomy, patients who have had breast reconstruction in the past with unsatisfactory results, or women with BRCA mutations who are considering risk reduction prophylactic bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction.
