Breast Reconstruction Procedure Process Explained
The process for breast reconstruction can vary from patient to patient. Here is a general overview of what you can expect from your treatment journey.
The Consultation
We usually consult with patients before they have their mastectomy. During this appointment, we will verify your eligibility for surgery, talk about different options for reconstruction, and answer any questions you may have about the procedure, recovery, or results.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
The timeline for breast reconstruction surgery depends on the type of reconstruction you are having, among other factors. You can expect your reconstruction surgery to take anywhere from 2-8 hours, depending on your chosen type of reconstruction. You will be under anesthesia for the entirety of the procedure.
What Are Surgery and Recovery Like?
You will not experience any pain during the surgery itself, during which your surgeon will reconstruct breast tissue using either free tissue transfer, implants, or a fat graft, usually harvested via liposuction. Recovery can vary from patient to patient, but generally expect 4-6 weeks of recovery time following breast reconstructive surgery.
