Breast Cancer Reconstruction after Mastectomy
At Kovanda Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kovanda and our entire staff understand the difficulties faced by women who have been given a breast cancer diagnosis. Our goal is always to provide cosmetic relief from the affects of breast cancer, helping ease the trauma of a mastectomy procedure and aid in your overall recover.
When breast tissue is removed during a mastectomy, many women decide a breast reconstruction procedure would help limiting the physical and psychological after-affects of breast cancer. Dr. Christopher J. Kovanda performs advanced breast reconstruction procedures at our Minneapolis / Saint Paul area practice with offices in Maple Grove and Edina. Our reconstructive plastic surgery techniques help women restore, as naturally as possible, the look and feel of their original breasts.
Although each woman's circumstances are unique, you may be provided with the option to have the breast reconstruction procedure performed just after the mastectomy is complete. This would allow you to wake up with both procedures complete and replacement breast tissue in place. It is important to note that, for some women, it is recommended that they wait before undergoing any breast reconstruction procedures. Dr. Kovanda and his staff at his Minneapolis / Saint Paul area offices will work closely with your oncology specialist to determine if reconstructive plastic surgery can be performed in conjunction with your mastectomy procedure.
Among the many breast reconstruction procedures performed at our Maple Grove and Edina cosmetic and reconstructive surgery centers is the advanced TRAM flap (transverse rectus abdominus muscle) procedure. This procedure involves the removal of a flap of skin from elsewhere on the body — many times the abdomen or back — and its subsequent use to replace lost breast tissue. Microsurgery is used to reconnect the tissue to the body.
