How is breast repair (reconstruction) surgery performed?

There are 3 options applied for breast reconstruction. While performing the surgery with tissue expanders and prostheses is an option, performing the surgery using the patient’s own tissue is another option. Finally, stem cell-enriched tissue transplantation is also widely used in breast reconstruction surgeries.

Depending on the patient’s condition, it is also possible to apply some options together if necessary. In the choice of these options, the condition of the patient’s area to be operated on and the size and shape of the other breast play an important role. The quality and adequacy of the skin in the area of ​​the removed breast is very important. If the skin is insufficient and the other breast is large, a tissue expander is placed first. Then, depending on preference, either a silicone prosthesis or the patient’s own muscle tissue is repaired. If the intact breast tissue is large and drooping, this breast is also intervened in the same surgery, and the two breasts are reduced and erected so that they are equal.
