Breast reconstruction is usually performed after a breast cancer related mastectomy to improve a patient's appearance and state of mind. Board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Nolan Karp reports that using fat grafts is a natural and effective method of surgically reconstructing the breasts to fit every patient's needs.
"Breast reconstruction can be done in one of two ways," Dr. Karp reports. "Using a breast implant is one possibility, and the other is autologous tissue-based breast reconstruction. The first is similar to breast augmentation procedures, but the latter is a more natural approach to restoring the area. Either procedure can be supplemented with others to shape and lift breasts even further."
When asked how the procedure is done, Dr. Karp had this to say: "What we do is transfer fat, without muscle, from another part of the body to the chest. We use a flap from the patient's own skin, which can either stay attached to its original blood supply or be transferred to another area of the body. Using the latest technology, this procedure shows favorable surgical results without taking an extensive amount of time."
"We take reconstructive surgery very seriously," Dr. Karp further explains. "The procedure is very important for patients who have undergone any kind of mastectomy or breast cancer treatment, as it can restore their bodies back to how they were before and improve their confidence. It's a great relief for someone who has gone through so much emotional, mental, and physical stress."
In conclusion, Dr. Karp had this to say: "Women in need of breast reconstruction should be sure to contact a board certified professional and explore all of their options. Autologous reconstruction is a very natural, effective method of replacing lost breast tissue to optimize your appearance and confidence."
