| Breast
reconstuction is the procedure or set of procedures
to restore the breast following its removal during a
mastectomy. This may simply involve the use of an implant
as in an augmentation mammoplasty or the transfer of
ones own tissue to the breast as a myocutaneous or free
flap. The best procedure to restore the breast mound
and nipple-areola complex will be discussed at your
consultation. The most popular ways of reconstructing
the breast either require the use of a skin expander
to recreate the breast mound or the transfer of the
skin and fat from the lower abdomen onto the chest wall
as in the TRAM flap or Tummy Tuck Breast reconstuction.
All of these procedures are covered by your insurance
and may be started at the time of your mastectomy. Patient's
who may be facing a mastectomy should begin discussions
about reconstruction prior to any ablative procedure
if only to find out what their options are. For more
