The most common reason for breast reconstruction is a woman’s desire to rebuild the breasts after a mastectomy. Additional reasons for breast reconstruction include an injury or trauma, illness or congenital defect.
In the aftermath of breast cancer, Dr. Parker has helped many women to regain a sense of dignity and pride in their appearance by creating breasts that both look and feel highly natural. Research has shown that breast reconstruction often has a positive impact, both emotionally and mentally, on the breast cancer survivor, providing a sense of closure as well as hope.
Dr. Parker can begin your breast reconstruction in Las Vegas at the same time as mastectomy, or he can delay the reconstruction for a later date. It’s important that you discuss reconstruction with your mastectomy surgeon so he or she can use the proper techniques. Note that breast reconstruction is an option whether you have a full mastectomy or just a partial one.
Dr. Parker can perform breast reconstruction either with implants, or through the fat transfer process. With fat transfer, fat is taken from a donor area where it is unwanted (such as the thighs, belly or hips), it is purified and sterilized, and then is injected into the breasts to build volume naturally.
Dr. Parker will help you to determine the best method for reconstruction during your confidential consultation in Las Vegas.
Dr. Parker will use either saline or silicone implants placed under the pec muscles. If the skin is too tight, Dr. Parker will need to use a tissue expander first in order to create the proper capsule to house the implant. The next step will be for Dr. Parker to reconstruct the nipples, and finally apply an areola tattoo, creating the most authentic-looking breasts possible.
In some cases, he may also apply an acellular dermal matrix made of human cells to create a scaffolding on which the implants can rest. Fat transfer may be used to create more natural-looking edges around the reconstructed breasts.
Breast reconstruction offers transformative physical and emotional benefits, allowing individuals to restore their breast shape, symmetry, and natural balance after mastectomy or trauma. The procedure helps enhance body image and self-confidence, giving patients the freedom to feel comfortable in their clothing and regain a sense of wholeness.
Ideal candidates for breast reconstruction are individuals in good overall health, without conditions that may impede healing. Candidates often include those who have undergone mastectomy, lumpectomy, or sustained breast injury. Timing is flexible, allowing some to choose immediate reconstruction, while others may prefer a delayed approach based on personal needs.
