Although breast reconstruction surgery with silicone implants helps patients regain happiness, there is still considerable concern about scars on the back. Today… the lost confidence will be fully restored! Because with the new breast reconstruction surgical technique, you will have (new) breasts that look natural… and no more scars on the back.
Which patient case… should undergo which treatment? Know from these factors!
- Cancer stage Before starting treatment, we need to see… what stage the patient’s tumor is at. If it is not severe or in the early stage… breast-conserving surgery can be chosen.
- Patient’s age For younger patients, aesthetics or social interactions are often important. For older patients, aesthetics may be less of a priority, so mastectomy can be chosen.
- Presence of comorbidities Some patients prioritize aesthetics… but have serious diseases such as heart disease or blood disorders, which limit the choice of long-duration surgeries. Therefore, the method with the least risk must be chosen.
Boost patient confidence… with breast reconstruction
In cases where patients need or want to have a mastectomy… but are still concerned about aesthetics, doctors will perform breast reconstruction, divided into 2 methods:
1. Breast reconstruction surgery using abdominal fat
Using fat to replace the original breast tissue, we usually choose fat from the abdominal area. However, this method has disadvantages as it is difficult and time-consuming, and the surgeon must be skilled in this technique.
2. Breast reconstruction surgery using silicone
Since transferring fat from the abdomen to the breast is difficult, an easier method is to insert silicone under the skin instead. However, this requires pulling tissue from the back to cover the silicone, causing a disadvantage: a long straight scar on the back.
No more worries about scars… thanks to the new technique from Phyathai medical team
Because breast reconstruction surgery using the technique of pulling tissue from the back causes a clear straight scar, women feel less confident wearing strapless clothes. Therefore, the medical team at Phyathai Hospital has developed a new breast reconstruction technique “without scars”. After making an incision on the breast, the doctor uses instruments to separate and collect skin tissue from that area to use. This method does not require a direct incision on the back, so there are no scars on the back… allowing female patients to feel more confident in their lives.
