Breast Reconstruction

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is an advanced reconstructive surgical procedure performed to recreate breast tissue after mastectomy or trauma. Op. Dr. Saffet Ulutaş takes both health and aesthetic goals of the patient into account by working in coordination with breast oncology specialists in this process. The reconstruction option can be performed in the same session with mastectomy, or planned after chemotherapy and radiotherapy processes.

Methods used include silicone implants, tissue expanders, and flaps taken from the patient's own tissue (DIEP, latissimus dorsi, etc.). Which method will be preferred is determined according to the tissue quality, vascular structure, general health status, and personal request of the patient. Mastopexy or reduction can be applied to the healthy breast to preserve symmetry.
