Huge advances in Medicine and Oncology in the early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer have allowed more and more women to overcome this illness. For this reason numerous patients have submitted to a breast removal or mastectomy, with either a partial or total removal, and who wish to retrieve Belliance in the most satisfactory manner. Our team of Plastic Surgeons possess wide experience in the field of breast reconstruction surgery, using the best techniques to create the most natural looking breast. We offer reconstruction treatments through either implants or the patient’s own tissue. Breast construction using prosthesis is initiated by using a technique to expand the tissue. This is a special implant which is introduced deflated and possesses a valve that can be inflated. Liquid is periodically introduced into the prosthesis which makes the tissue of the thorax grow. When sufficient skin is available the temporary implant is removed and a permanent one introduced. Procedures using tissue from the patient is one of the greatest advances for women who have lost a breast, because it is the method that produces the greatest symmetry and naturalness. The ideal donor area for the tissue is the abdomen as the skin and fatty tissue found there is most similar to that of the breast. Other second choices exist, such as the back. Reconstructive surgery performed on a breast can produce spectacular results and change the life of a patient, for it helps them to fully recover from the experience of cancer. As this is a very complex and personal field, more information can only be given following assessment by our Specialist team in Reconstructive Surgery.
