Total breast reconstruction after removal of the whole breast due to cancer or any other tumour requires more planning. Depending on how much skin is preserved/ available various plastic surgery techniques like flap surgery, tissue expansion, silicone implant etc are suggested. Microvascular flaps like TRAM Flap, S-GAP flap may be required. These surgical options have to be discussed in detail and the pros and cons are discussed. Recovery in such patients may require more time, usually between 1 to 3 weeks. Sometimes there may be complications like hematoma, infection, flap necrosis, wound healing issues etc. It is best to understand the procedure and the follow up with the doctor once you have decided to undertake these procedures.
Nipple and areola reconstruction is also done, but at a later date. The techniques for the same are specialized and discussed in detail. A combination of flaps and skin grafting is usually done to reconstruct these.
