What is breast reconstruction?

Treatment for breast cancer often involves the total removal of breast tissue for many women, leaving a flat appearance to the breast.

 Reconstructive breast surgery is a plastic surgery procedure that restores volume and recreates the shape of the breast.

Breast reconstruction can restore body confidence and self-esteem.

We offer two different reconstructive techniques for women requiring breast reconstruction.

 

Breast reconstruction with implants

This type of surgery involves the insertion of saline or silicone breast implants during a surgical procedure. Surgery lasts 1 to 2 hours and is performed using a general anaesthetic.

 

The benefits of using implants for reconstructive breast surgery

Breast implants are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, which complement different body shapes and aesthetic goals.

 

Recovery time after implant surgery

Most patients can return to work 2 to 4 weeks after surgery.

 

Potential complications

Patients are at risk of the usual surgical complications of swelling and bruising. Prosthetic implants also carry the potential complications of implant rupture or capsular contracture.

All these issues will be fully explained by your reconstructive surgeon before surgery.

 

Breast reconstruction with fat transfer

This innovative breast reconstruction procedure uses the patient’s own fat cells to add volume to the breast rather than an implant.

Fat cells are taken from donor sites elsewhere in the body, often the thighs or lower abdomen and then injected into the breast area.

This is a complicated procedure that can take up to 5 hours to complete.

 

The benefits of fat transfer

Breasts created with fat transfer have a natural appearance and texture and are not affected by any of the issues that patients with breast implants may experience, like implant rupture.

 

The recovery period after breast reconstruction with fat transfer

We advise patients to take at least a fortnight off work to recover.

 

Disadvantages of fat transfer for breast reconstruction

Far transfer can only be used to create smaller cup sizes, which may be an issue for women whose opposite breast is a large cup size.

 

Which type of reconstructive surgery is best for me?

When you come to the Birmingham Breast Group, you will have a consultation with a highly experienced reconstructive surgeon who will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each technique and help you to decide which is the best option for you.

 

Are there any other factors to consider before deciding on breast reconstruction?

The decision to have breast reconstruction is very personal. Some women decide not to have a reconstruction at all, but many decide that they want one at the time of diagnosis.

The timing of your procedure will depend on the nature of your cancer treatment and whether you want to wait until all parts of your treatment are completed before going through another surgical procedure.

You can rely on your reconstructive surgeon at Birmingham Breast Group to provide you with excellent advice informed by their knowledge, experience, and advanced training in the latest surgical techniques.

Mr Henderson was kind and understanding and I felt completely at ease with him. He was well informed of my condition and explained his treatment plan to me fully. He has been very attentive in answering emails from me and I really cannot recommend him highly enough. I feel very fortunate to have been in his care.

I have been a patient of Dr Basu since being diagnosed with Breast Cancer a few months ago. Despite the curse of my diagnosis I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr and standard of care. He and his team are super-efficient, have gone out of their way to get fast effective treatment for me and he has super-human levels of patience. During every consultation he has been ever patient, carefully listened to all my questions and concerns then taken the time to explain everything to me and provided constant reassurance. He has been accessible at all times even over weekends and the support has been broad. He looks after you as if you are family and despite having a 90 minute journey to see him at times as we wanted the fastest appointment we couldn’t ask for anything more. Our family see him as an angel not just a doctor for what he has done for us and would recommend him in less than a blink of a eye.

I first met Naren Basu in 2016 at the Queen Elizabeth Women’s Hospital. I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an exceptionally skilled man at putting people at their ease and explaining everything with great patience and candour. He is a consummate professional and really knows his stuff, especially relating to breast cancer. He is very clever, witty, and a super surgeon. He carried out a reduction to both my breasts, removing the tumours at the same time. I was fortunate indeed to have my surgery via the NHS, it would have been very expensive as a private patient but worth every penny. I felt like a million dollars after my operation. I think he is a fabulous man and so skilled on so many levels and outstanding in human kindness.

Nine days before I was due to go on an extended holiday I discovered problems in both breasts. I was lucky enough to get an appointment 3 days before travel. Mr Basu even called me on the day of the appointment to ask me to come in earlier to ensure they had time to undergo all of the tests that evening. Anyone who has had these problems will know how overwhelming it is but Mr Basu took his time to speak to me and explained all of the procedures/tests that would be carried out that evening and possible outcomes. I did have a small procedure and again everything was explained fully and felt quite safe in his hands. The follow up appointments were just as thorough and Mr Basu made sure I understood all that we discussed. If I ever found myself in this position again Mr Basu would be my first port of call.

I am currently under the care of Dr Daniel Henderson at Good Hope Hospital, and I couldn’t ask for better. He listens, and speaks to you in laymans terms so you understand what is going on now and in the future. He talks to you and not at you, and has a very calm and soothing manner. If you are lucky enough to be referred to him, rest assured that you are in good hands, as he gets things actioned quickly.
