If you are scheduled for a mastectomy and you are considering reconstructive breast surgery, you do have the ability to choose direct-to-implant breast reconstruction. This process combines both the mastectomy and the breast reconstructive surgery into one procedure. Several advantages come with performing breast reconstruction without delay.
The Advantages of Direct-To-Implant Breast Reconstruction
You Can Maintain Your Feminine Figure
Many women who have to go through a mastectomy are concerned about how the surgery will alter or change their feminine aesthetics. Dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis is overwhelming in itself. Finding out that your breast has to be removed can just make the situation even more stressful.
Having a direct-to-implant breast reconstruction surgery can alleviate some of the stress. Rather than having to wait for breast implants, you can have them placed right after the removal of cancerous breast tissue and tumors. This ensures you wake up with breasts in place instead of having to wait for a new one to be implanted.
There Is Only One Surgery Required
A direct-to-implant reconstruction surgery eliminates the need for multiple surgeries for removal and reconstruction. Instead, the new breast is placed right after the mastectomy. Once you heal from the surgery, you are ready to move forward without worrying about reconstruction surgery in the future.
You Can Achieve Better Aesthetic Results
Women often achieve better aesthetic results by having direct-to-implant breast reconstruction surgery performed. Given the fact that the new breast is placed immediately after a mastectomy surgery, there is far less scarring on the breasts.
Ultimately, the choice regarding breast reconstruction is highly personal. It is important for you to schedule a consultation with your surgeon for guidance.
