Breast Reconstruction with Implants<\/strong><\/p>\n

The breast reconstruction with implants<\/strong> is a modern and widespread option for breast reconstruction after mastectomy<\/strong> due to breast cancer.<\/strong> This technique involves reshaping the chest wall so that a silicone implant can be placed, offering satisfactory volume and a natural aesthetic result.<\/p>\n

Types of Implant-Based Reconstruction<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Immediate Breast Reconstruction<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Immediate reconstruction is performed during the same operation as the mastectomy. The implant is placed either under the chest muscle or directly under the skin in cases where the skin envelope is preserved, with or without the nipple (skin-sparing or nipple-sparing mastectomy).<\/p>\n

    Often, it is used additionally synthetic<\/strong>\u00a0or biological mesh<\/strong> for greater support of the implant. This technique offers an immediate aesthetic result, but is usually not recommended when postoperative radiotherapy,<\/strong> due to an increased risk of healing complications.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Two-Stage (Delayed) Reconstruction<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      In this case, a first tissue expander<\/strong> , which is gradually filled with saline in the weeks following the surgery. This process allows for the gradual stretching of the muscles and skin.<\/p>\n

      After 4-6 months, the expander is replaced with a permanent silicone implant. This method is particularly useful for women who will undergo adjunctive radiotherapy,<\/strong> as it allows adjustments to the final restoration.<\/p>\n
