Breast Reconstruction Following Mastectomy

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 21:54:09 +0000

12% of American women today will be diagnosed with breast cancer sometime during their lifetime. Many of these women will subsequently undergo mastectomy and should be informed by their general surgeon of the options in breast reconstruction. There have been tremendous advancements in both the immediate and delayed reconstruction of the breast and nipple giving much more natural outcomes. We work closely with many area general surgeons to coordinate your care and reconstruction in a seamless manner following your diagnosis and mastectomy.

Breast and nipple surgical reconstruction options include:

Immediate breast prosthesis
Tissue expanders
Latissimus dorsi flap
TRAM flap (transverse rectus abdominus musculocutaneous flap)
Nipple flaps and grafts
Nipple/areola tattooing

In addition, there are a number of surgical procedures for the uninvolved breast which can help to improve its appearance and provide a more balanced result at the same time.

Premier Plastic Surgery is committed to providing patient-centered care that meets each woman’s specific concerns and needs for breast reconstruction following mastectomy or lumpectomy. Our staff realizes that this is a very stressful and challenging time in a woman’s life and we are dedicated to making the process of informing you of the complete options you may have in as sensitive and thorough manner as possible. Our staff will support you from the initial consult through your complete surgical recovery.

There are a variety of treatments such as drug treatments, and home remedies that you can do with out the consultation of a doctor or dentist. Some of the different types of medications that you can get prescribed from your doctor that would be helpful would be muscle relaxants or Flexeril. Muscle relaxants will help you to reduce the strain and spasms that you are experiencing.

But before you begin taking medicine you should attempt other treatments. Taking prescription medicine can lead to additional side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, fatigue, blurred vision, constipation and many other potential side affects.

Beginning with some of the natural methods of treating your TMJ pain is the best place to begin. You can use a mouth guard when you go to bed at night. This reduces the stress that you put on your jaw joint when you are grinding or clenching your teeth. Changing the foods that you eat such as reducing the amount of sugars that you eat and start eating more fruits and vegetables. Also doing some jaw exercises should help to improve the pain and reduce the symptoms of TMJ. These are only a few different things that you can do to help decrease the pain associated with TMJ. You can find many others by searching online.

Different people experience different levels of pain with TMJ. If you are experience a great amount of pain you may want to consult a doctor or dentist. Taking medicine may help you to reduce the initial pain while introducing natural cures.
