Birmingham Breast Group

Breast Reconstruction Surgery Warwick

For breast reconstruction at Birmingham Breast Group near Warwick, our oncoplastic breast surgery team uses the most advanced surgical techniques to optimise outcomes and ensure  patients are delighted with the results.

Reconstruction with breast implants

Implant-based reconstruction is a popular choice with our Warwick patients. Implants containing saline or silicone gel are inserted into the chest area in a procedure that takes 1 to 2 hours .

Breast implants are a good option for women looking for reconstruction for most cup sizes. Implants are available in a range of shapes and sizes, and your surgeon will be able to advise you on an implant that complements the proportions of your body.

Breast Reconstruction

Your recovery time after implant based reconstruction surgery

Most of our patients can return to work 2 to 4 weeks after surgery, but you may need to wait a little longer before you can engage in strenuous exercise.

Risks associated with breast implants

Breast reconstruction carries the risk of infection, swelling, bruising and changes in breast sensation. However, the patient-focused care that we provide at Birmingham Breast Group means that your post-operative recovery will be carefully managed.

Breast implants carry a number of potential complications that may occur in the medium to longer term, specifically capsular contracture and implant rupture, which may mean that your implant will need to be removed and replaced. However, it is important to know that implants are not meant to last forever and will need to be replaced in the future anyhow.

Your plastic surgeon will discuss these issues in full at your initial consultation.

Fat transfer for breast reconstruction

Rather than using a breast implant, the fat transfer technique involves restoring breast volume with the patient’s own fat cells.

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

The fat transfer technique requires a high level of skill, and our talented surgical team produces consistently excellent results for our Warwick patients.

Fat transfer is only suitable in cases where the patient requires a small cup size, making it inappropriate when matching a larger remaining breast.

The advantages of fat transfer

The fat transfer technique creates breasts that look and feel like natural tissue. Fat transfer patients avoid the potential complications of breast implants as the transformation is achieved using their own body cells.

Recovery after breast reconstruction with fat transfer

The recovery period is around two weeks, but you should be guided by your cosmetic surgeon before resuming your normal level of activity.

Which type of reconstructive surgery is best for me?

You will be advised on the treatment options at your initial consultation with an oncoplastic plastic surgeon. Your aesthetic goals, lifestyle and health status will all be considered as your surgeon advises you on reconstruction options and expected outcomes.

When should I have breast reconstruction?

Oncoplastic surgery to perform implant surgery at the same time as a mastectomy to remove cancer cells may be an option. However, this is not alway possible if radiotherapy is required.

Delayed breast reconstruction is another option, and the procedure can be performed after the rest of your breast cancer treatment has been completed.

We treat many Warwick patients who require a risk-reducing mastectomy because they have a strong family history of breast cancer, and in this case, where there is no breast cancer diagnosis, breast reconstruction at the same time as a mastectomy is possible.

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.
