Breast Reconstruction in Riverside, Inland Empire

Home » Breast » Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction combines reconstructive surgery with plastic surgery to treat women with deformities of the breasts due to cancer, traumatic injury or genetic defect. Women find relief following breast reconstruction in many ways, including:

  • Improves the appearance of breast deformities, both clothed and unclothed
  • Reshapes and repositions the nipples for a more natural appearance
  • Enhances self esteem

Breast Reconstruction Procedure

Dr. Hardesty and Dr. Bennett believe in being proactive with breast reconstruction patients. For this reason, they may participate in the biopsy planning for cancer patients and reconstructive planning. They may work as a team with other medical professionals involved in breast care to provide the best outcome. Women that have endured years with deformities of the breasts enjoy the benefits of breast reconstruction with Dr. Hardesty and Dr. Bennett. Breast reconstruction requires an individualized treatment plan that is specific to the needs of the patient. Dr. Hardesty and Dr. Bennett can fill this void.

The Incision

Breast reconstruction incisions depend upon the extent and type of reconstruction that is required for the procedure. Incision types include:

  • Circular incision around the areola
  • Keyhole or racquet-shaped pattern with the circular areola incision and a vertical incision from the nipple to the breast crease
  • T-Anchor shape around the areola, down and across the breast crease

The Breast Reconstruction Technique

The technique used in the procedure also depends upon the extent of the procedure. There are many types of techniques that may be used for breast reconstruction. Some of the techniques that may be used include:

  • Reposition existing breast tissue to form an enhanced shape
  • Dissection of the breast pocket to fit a breast implant
  • Flap creation involving the transfer of fat from one area of the body to the breast
  • Liposuction to remove fat or muscle from one area of the body and transfer fat to the breast
  • Layered suturing may be used to hold the repositioned tissue in place

Breast Reconstruction Recovery

Breast reconstruction does require a recovery time period. The length of time required for recovery depends upon a variety of factors such as the extent of the procedure and the techniques used in the procedure. Patients may return to normal daily activities anytime from two days to a week following surgery. Usually, by 6 weeks, there are no restrictions to returning to full exercise.

Breast reconstruction is a rejuvenating procedure for women in need. Patients have great satisfaction with the renewed appearance of their breasts. Breast reconstruction can build self confidence, enhance life’s experiences and creates a more normal breast appearance.
