Recovering from Breast Reconstruction

 

Recovering from Breast Reconstruction Surgery

Breast reconstruction surgery can make a dramatic difference in the lives of women who have experienced mastectomies after breast cancer.  The procedure can help lessen the emotion and physical toll of a mastectomy, and help restore self-confidence.

Breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction can be performed in a seamless transtion, one right after the other, totaling between 4 to 7 hours of surgical time.  Through this blog, Dr. Tzvi Small reviews the recovery from breast reconstruction surgery, and what you can expect during the process.

How Do I Recover from Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

One of the most common questions that we receive about breast reconstruction surgery are regarding the amount of recovery time and what to expect post-surgery.  During a consultation with Dr. Tzvi Small, your individual procedure will be discussed with you entirely, so that you have a clear understanding of what to expect from the surgery and personal recovery.

Some women remain in the hospital for 1 to 2 days post-surgery.  For others, who have experienced the FLAP procedures, 5 to 6 days hospital stay can be expected.  The surgery does not interfere with chemotherapy or radiation.

Following surgery, a patient may experience a normal level discomfort.  While in the hospital, this pain level will be monitored, and pain medication will be administered.  Soreness, bruising, and swelling are normal for two to three weeks post-surgery.  There may be numbness and tightness along the area where tissue was removed, but this will diminish over time.

“How long will it take for me to get back to my normal activities?” is a question that Dr. Small encounters regularly.  For most women, regular activity can resume after 6 weeks post-surgery.  Dr. Small will discuss strenuous activities with you, and monitor when it is safe to return to all activities.

Following breast reconstruction, regular checkups and mammograms are essential.  Your physicians and Dr. Small will check to see your progress, and discuss any issue that may have arisen.

All about Liposuction

Considering Liposuction

You work out every morning.  You love the rush of adrenaline that you feel from cardio and lifting weights.  You enjoy living a healthy lifestyle. But what you don’t enjoy is noticing that some stubborn areas of fat will not go away no matter how hard you try to live right.

“I really wish that this area would look more toned,” you always mumble to yourself as you look in the mirror.  “Then I could finally be satisfied with the look of my body!”

Dr. Tzvi Small can help you to knock out those stubborn fat deposits with liposuction.  Liposuction can remove fat to deliver you a firmer and more pleasing physique.  If you have been searching for a way to create your ideal body figure, look no further than this blog.  This blog will deliver you with all the information you need about the liposuction procedure, so keep reading to learn more!

All about Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery because of its ability to target multiple areas of the body safely and effectively.

During liposuction, pockets of fat are suctioned out of the body.  A small vacuum tube is used to remove the fat deposits.  These fat deposits are removed from the areas where a patient wishes for firmer, and more defined contours.  Liposuction is typically used on the following areas of the body:

  • Thighs
  • Abdominal area
  • Hips
  • Chin
  • Neck
  • Love handles
  • Arms
  • Jowls
  • Buttocks

Men frequently choose to focus on their “love handles” and abdominal areas. Many women elect to have an abdominoplasty and a breast reduction at the same time as the liposuction procedure.  This ensures that a patient can receive all of the benefits of body contouring, and can achieve the shape that he or she has always wanted.

During a consultation, Dr. Small will explain what you can personally expect for your body’s shape from liposuction.  Dr. Small will also discuss how you can maintain your body shape post-liposuction procedure so that you can retain the results for years to come.  Dr. Small is passionate about delivering you the best in cosmetic surgery and the tools to maintain beautiful results for years to come.  To learn more about liposuction, contact the Small plastic surgery team today.
