Houston Breast Lumpectomy Reconstruction Surgery

If you are unhappy with the way your breasts look after your lumpectomy procedure, the experienced plastic surgeons at The Oaks Plastic Surgery, Dr. Danielle Andry and Dr. Nandi Wijay can improve the appearance of your breasts and boost your confidence with a lumpectomy defect reconstruction.

What is a Lumpectomy Defect?

A lumpectomy is a common procedure for treating breast cancer in the early stages. With a lumpectomy, any cancerous or abnormal tissue is removed, along with minimal amounts of normal tissue around the affected area. The removal of tissue can leave breasts looking asymmetric or even deformed. These problem areas are referred to as lumpectomy defects.

What is a Lumpectomy Defect Reconstruction?

If one or both of your breasts are misshapen due to a lumpectomy, and you don’t need a full breast reconstruction, then a lumpectomy reconstruction surgery might be the solution. Depending on the specific defects caused by the lumpectomy, there are several options to choose from for reconstructive lumpectomy surgery in Houston:

Flap reconstruction - Flap reconstructive breast surgeries use muscle, fat and tissue from other areas of the body to reconstruct the excised breast tissue.
Fat Grafting - In this type of reconstructive lumpectomy surgery, fat is taken by liposuction out of another area of the body and deposited via injection to the breast area that was affected by the lumpectomy.
Implants - If a lot of tissue has to be removed during the lumpectomy, a breast implant might be used to during the breast reconstruction after lumpectomy to make your breasts more symmetrical.

Why do you want a Reconstruction of Lumpectomy Defects?

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your breasts after surgery to remove cancerous tissue, then a reconstructive surgery for lumpectomy defects might be able to help. This procedure can remove dimples and hardened areas in the breast, make your breasts more symmetrical, remove scars, and reduce other disfigurations. These changes can help improve your self-confidence and reduce body image anxieties.

What procedures are often performed with a Reconstruction of Lumpectomy Defects?

Depending on the type of reconstructive lumpectomy surgery the client chooses, a number of other procedures might be required. In addition, certain elective procedures can sometimes be completed during the lumpectomy reconstruction. Some women choose to have liposuction, tummy tucks and/or facelift procedures completed at the same time. Your Houston lumpectomy reconstruction surgery specialist can help you decide which are the best options for your procedure.
