One-Step Implant Immediate Breast Reconstruction – Frequently Asked Questions
“What are some of the advantages of an immediate, one-step approach?”
Reconstruction performed when the chest tissues are not damaged by radiation therapy or scarring can often lead to a better-looking final result. If you know for a fact that this is your case, you may be a candidate for this surgery. If you are unsure if you are going to get either treatment to help manage your case then you may not be a candidate. Doctor Meade will help you reach a solution here. Immediate reconstruction usually means less surgery overall.
“Will normal sensation be regained in the reconstructed breast?”
Reconstruction can restore the shape of the breast, but not sensitivity to touch. With time, the skin on the reconstructed breast may become more sensitive, but it will not feel the same as it did prior to mastectomy.
