What is a breast reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction in Turkey after breast cancer is a surgical procedure that is indicated after assessing the clinical condition of each patient and the operated area, in order to create a breast that helps to improve her image, providing her with greater physical and psychological comfort.

Which patients can undergo breast reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction in Turkey can be performed on any patient who has undergone a radical mastectomy, i.e. who has had to have her breast completely removed, a partial mastectomy also called quadrantectomy, and breasts that have undergone a lumpectomy.

At what stage of treatment is breast reconstruction performed? Immediate or delayed?

There are two types of reconstruction in Turkey, one that is performed immediately after surgery and one that is deferred, which is performed sometime after the oncological surgery. The gynecologist and the oncologist will assess each case and advise the patient. Nowadays, almost all reconstructive surgeries are performed in the same surgical act as long as the specialists approve it. The operation must be performed by a plastic surgeon who, thanks to new techniques, will be able to create a breast similar in shape, size, and texture to the one that has not been operated on.

Different reconstruction techniques

There are two main techniques for breast reconstruction in Istanbul, the technique using implants and the technique using autologous tissue, i.e. using the patient’s own tissue. The donor areas for the flaps can be various, the most common being the back, abdomen, and sometimes the buttock.

The technique to be used will depend on the oncological surgery that has been performed previously, subsequent treatments and the state of the skin.
