Question:
I need breast reconstruction surgery. I had a mastectomy on my left breast. It is amazing to me how horrible I feel looking at it in the mirror. After all losing my breast kept alive but I would like it to look less unsightly. How do you do the reconstruction?
Answer:
Breast reconstruction needs to be individualized to each patient. The options are a tissue expander followed by a placement of a permanent implant versus autologous tissue reconstruction. Autologous tissue means using your own tissue to reconstruct the breast.
Your own tissue can be taken from many different areas on your body and there are many different alternatives, so you really need to speak to a qualified reconstructive plastic surgeon who can inform you of all the alternatives, risks and potential complications for this surgery.

"I have had great results with two procedures and would love a third! I would highly recommend Dr. Kenneth Siporin--and I have. I am greatly appreciative of Ken and all the staff there. I have always had a blast and felt very comfortable with Dr. Siporin. I know my father really enjoyed his experience and outcome as well."
