How Breast Reconstruction Surgery is Done?

During the procedure, doctors will form a breast mound through implants like silicone or saline implant.  TRAM flap reconstruction can also be the choice for the operation. This is done using the tissues from other parts of your body like the belly and buttocks can also be used to mound. Oftentimes, reconstructing the breast includes more than one operation.  Extra steps may include adding a nipple as well as operating the other breast to match the reconstructed one or vice versa.  The procedure is usually done for approximately 2-6 hours. Recovery wise, the procedure may take up to six weeks and the suture 10 days post-operation.  The patient is advised to refrain from performing strenuous activities for atleast 3-6 weeks.  As for the scarring, it slowly fades with time, but it usually takes up to 2 years.

Cost of Breast Reconstruction Surgery

The price of the procedure actually depends on three factors such as the anesthesia fee, the fhospital fee, and the surgeon’s fee.  Moreover, it is influenced by the region or country.  The surgeon’s fee is also a question since it depends on his qualifications as well as how he’s exactly used to performing such procedure.  However, here’s a rough estimation of the surgeon fee for breast reconstruction as researched on the Internet via Beauty2morrow:
