Procedure Description:
restoring cosmesis following mastectomy
What To Expect:
Breast cancer and mastectomy can be devastating to a woman.
Reconstructive procedures have improved tremendously over the last
decade. Dr. Hueneke provides a variety of options for his patients
including skin sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with
TRAM flap.
Preprocedure:
The consultation will take about one hour to fully discuss your
options. Since 1998, Federal law has mandated insurance companies
pay for these services.
Postprocedure:
Breast reconstruction requires a huge commitment from both the
surgeon and patient. At least 2-3 surgeries are necessary and the
process will take up to 6 months. The surgery, however, is extremely
rewarding and we have many women who are willing to share their
experiences.
