Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy at "Helyos" Center

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the shape, size, and symmetry of the breasts following a mastectomy (breast removal). This operation helps women regain not only the external aesthetics but also psychological comfort and self-confidence.

Methods of Breast Reconstruction

At "Helyos" Center, modern breast reconstruction techniques are used, tailored individually based on the clinical situation, the patient's body characteristics, and personal preferences.

1.Implantation Method:

The use of silicone implants to restore the volume of the breasts.
Can be performed simultaneously with the mastectomy or some time after the operation.
Most suitable for patients with sufficient skin coverage.

2.Reconstruction Using Own Tissues (Autotransplantation):

Uses tissue from the abdomen (TRAM, DIEP flap), back (latissimus dorsi flap), or thighs.
Provides a natural look and texture of the breasts.
Ideal for patients who do not wish to use implants.

3.Combined Method:

Combines implants with autotransplantation.
Used in complex cases or when there is insufficient own tissue.

How the Procedure is Performed:

Consultation and Planning: The optimal method is selected according to the patient's condition.
Surgical Intervention: Performed under general anesthesia, the duration depends on the chosen method (from 2 to 6 hours).
Breast Formation: Implant placement or autotransplantation is carried out.
Form and Symmetry Correction: Additional procedures may be performed, including nipple and areola reconstruction.
