How is Breast Reconstruction Surgery in Mandeville Performed?

There are many surgical methods that can be used for breast reconstruction; the ones used will depend on your needs. The two main options available for our breast reconstruction patients are:

• Flap Reconstruction: relocate the tissue to your chest from an area of your body, such as back, buttocks or abdomen
• Implant-Based Reconstruction: place a balloon expander beneath the chest muscle and skin to create a pocket where the implant can be inserted.

What Can I Expect After Breast Reconstruction Surgery in Baton Rouge?

We will provide you with post-surgical instruction that you should follow carefully. Pain after surgery may last for about two weeks, and this can be alleviated with oral pain medication as well as a compression bra. Most patients return to light work after two weeks. The results of your breast reconstruction will not only help with the physical impact of a mastectomy, it can also greatly help with the emotional impacts.
