Breast Reconstruction
Serving Kansas City & Lee's Summit, Missouri
Breast Reconstruction is the surgical process of rebuilding a breast for a woman who has lost one due to cancer or other medical condition. Because of the positive impact it has on a patient's life, It is one of the most physically and emotionally rewarding cosmetic procedures.
The creation of a new breast for a woman who has lost one can dramatically improve one's self-image, self esteem and quality of life. While a reconstructed breast will never look or feel exactly the same as the breast that was removed, with plastic surgeon Dr. Chhatre's skill and experience, you will leave surgery with a relatively natural-looking breast.
Like all surgeries, breast reconstruction surgery is a highly personal decision and you should do it for yourself, not to satisfy anyone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of idealized image of how you should look.
You may be a good candidate for breast reconstruction surgery if:
- You are coping well with your diagnosis and treatment
- You are relatively healthy despite your diagnosis and treatment
- You do not have other medical conditions or illnesses that may impair your healing process
- You have realistic expectations about what the breast reconstruction surgery can and cannot accomplish
Depending upon your particular medical needs, Dr. Chhatre can perform you breast reconstruction surgery at the same time as your mastectomy, or after you heal from mastectomy and recover from any additional cancer treatments
