Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction makes it possible for a woman to regain a shapely, feminine contour after a mastectomy. Most mastectomy patients are suitable candidates for breast reconstruction and it is frequently possible for reconstruction surgery to begin immediately following a mastectomy. There are two basic types of breast reconstruction surgery. The pros and cons of each type are thoroughly discussed during a breast reconstruction consultation with Dr. Rankin or Dr. Deziel.
The most common type of breast reconstruction involves the placement of a breast implant. First, a skin expander, a balloon-like device, is inserted beneath the skin and chest muscle. Over a period of several weeks, the balloon is gradually filled with liquid, making the muscle and skin stretch just enough to accommodate the insertion of the breast implant. For women who do not want breast implants, flap reconstruction is an alternative breast reconstruction procedure. It involves the removal or relocation of tissue from another part of the body, such as the back, the abdomen, or the buttocks, to the breast.
Reconstructive Nipple Surgery
Although there are new procedures that may allow a patient to keep her nipple, sometimes mastectomy surgery necessitates its removal. In order to provide patients with the most natural-looking replacement nipples, Dr. Rankin or Dr. Deziel performs an innovative procedure. Using skin transferred from another part of the body, or through use of a local skin flap, Dr. Rankin or Dr. Deziel fashions a permanent replacement nipple. To complete the transformation, the newly created nipple may be tattooed using pigment that complements the patient’s skin tone.
Cosmetic Nipple Surgery
Inverted nipples or nipples that are overly large or protruding can make women feel self-conscious about their bodies. At our practice in Jupiter, Dr. Rankin and Dr. Deziel use a number of different techniques to treat these conditions. In many cases, natural nipple sensation is retained and the surgery does not interfere with the ability for women to breastfeed.
