Boulder Plastic Surgery Performs Breast Reconstruction Surgery

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boulder, Colorado, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 16, 2011 -- Breast reconstruction surgery may be a great option for those that have undergone a mastectomy due to breast cancer.

Although Breast Cancer Awareness Month falls during October, 31 days is not enough time to recognize this fatal disease. For those that have been diagnosed with breast cancer and have either already undergone treatment or are currently under a doctor’s care, it is important that you talk to your doctor about your options. An astounding 7 out of 10 women are not aware that they may qualify for breast reconstruction surgery.

With the help of today’s advanced technology and the highly skilled, board-certified surgeons at Boulder Plastic Surgery, breast cancer survivors can opt for reconstructive surgery. The effects of undergoing a mastectomy can sometimes be damaging to a woman’s self esteem, but that doesn’t have to be the case. There are several different types of surgeries performed at Boulder Plastic Surgery that are designed to help breast cancer survivors feel more confident about themselves and the way they look following a mastectomy.

Breast implant surgery is a common procedure that many choose after losing one or both breasts to cancer. The doctor will insert a silicone-based implant into the affected breast in order to achieve symmetry and a natural look. In some cases, the implant surgery can be performed at the same time as the mastectomy. Other times, especially if the patient is undergoing radiation treatments, a wait may be necessary.

Tissue flap procedures are also common techniques. These procedures allow the surgeon to take tissue from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks or back to rebuild the breast. With this technique, the patient will have two surgery sites that will leave two separate scars, so patients should talk to their doctor to discuss the risks of this procedure and to find out if it is the right option for them.

Other types of breast reconstruction techniques that the doctors at Boulder Plastic Surgery perform include DIEP (deep inferior epigastric artery perforator) flap, gluteal free flap, latissimus dorsi flap, TRAM (transverse rectus abdominis muscle) flap, and tissue flap procedures. Being that not all patients’ circumstances are the same, it is important that the patient talk with their surgeon to find out which procedure is best for them.

The doctors at Boulder Plastic Surgery have over 30 years of combined experience in general surgery and plastic surgery training and practice. Their patients can expect to receive the highest quality of total patient care in order to achieve the best outcome from any surgical procedure they perform.
