Breast Reconstruction
With the enhanced techniques in early detection of breast cancer throughout the United States, many women find that they are candidates for lumpectomy and radiation instead of mastectomy. Nevertheless, some women still find that their breast cancer may require mastectomy, as determined by their oncologist and surgeon. For those women, breast reconstruction surgery may be an option both in the immediate setting at the time of mastectomy, or subsequently several months later. Breast reconstruction improves many women’s quality of life by restoring a sense of balance and symmetry, allowing a woman to shed her need for an external prosthesis, and heightening both self-esteem and confidence.

Breast Reconstruction Techniques
Breast reconstruction surgery is usually performed in stages and can span across a period of several months. There are two categories of reconstruction: implant-based reconstruction and reconstruction using the patient’s own tissue. There are many factors and variables to consider in deciding whether to use one’s own tissue to reconstruct breasts or utilize breast implants. At our office in Columbia, Dr. Ram Kalus formulates individualized treatment plans for each of his patients.
