In addition, women may also experience difficulty or inability breastfeeding and/ or uneven breasts after the surgery. Breastfeeding is commonly a concern with women considering breast reduction surgery and with surgeons performing the procedure. Breastfeeding is affected by breast reduction surgery, but breastfeeding after having a breast reduction is still possible. It is imperative for surgeons, nurses, and lactation consultants to be educated and to educate patients on factual information regarding this topic. It is also important for health care professionals to be careful not to have a negative attitude regarding breast-feeding after having a breast reduction, even if supplementation with another form of milk is required. (Chamblin, 2006, p.

While performing a Mastopexy, Dr. Naidu raises the breasts by eliminating excess skin. She reshapes the breasts by tightening surrounding tissue. This tightened tissue supports the new breast contour. In addition, during a breast lift, Dr. Naidu can reduce the size of the patient’s areolae (the dark-colored skin that surrounds the nipple).
All patients receive specific instructions that relate to their particular surgery. These instructions include information about medications, follow-up appointments and symptoms that indicate the patient needs to seek medical
As with any surgical procedure, contraindications as well as other considerations should be determined to ensure the patient is in fact a good candidate for surgery. The patient’s current health status, as well as any comorbidity factors should be assessed. Patient’s who smoke tobacco, have diabetes mellitus, or a history of ulcerative colitis are at higher risk for postoperative complications due to having a decreased rate of tissue healing3. Specifically, with a Reduction Mammoplasty, it is important to incorporate the patient’s reproductive history in determining the appropriate surgical interventions. Patient’s with a past history of breast-feeding or who may want to breast-feed in the future can have altered aesthetic appearances of the
If you're waiting to have a mastectomy for your breast cancer, one of the things you'll want to consider is if you'll wear a prosthesis. In some cases, reconstructive surgery can be done at the same time as your mastectomy. Other times you'll have to space out the surgeries or you may not want reconstruction surgery at all. If that's the case, you'll probably want to wear a prosthesis so your figure will be balanced under your clothing. Here are some things you may want to know about wearing a mastectomy prosthesis.
Although it is commonly associated with cosmetic surgery, the origin of this specialty lies in its reconstructive aspect. Therefore, I chose to explore this aspect and, since% of the patients submitted to the observed interventions were female, I decided to focus this monograph in an area of so much importance for the woman as the breast.
S.P. should be up out of bed post-op day 1 and wearing TED hose continuously, as well as wearing SCDs overnight in bed. Constipation prevention should e achieved by administering scheduled doses of Colace. Proper nutrition should be encouraged to include plenty of protein to ensure proper wound healing and avoid development of pressure ulcers (Lewis, Dirksen, Heitkemper, Bucher, & Camera, 2011). S.P. should practice coughing and deep breathing throughout her hospital stay to avoid lung congestion and occurrence of pneumonia infection, educating the patient about smoking cessation assistance can be helpful as well.
There are numerous reasons why a woman’s breast tissue can be negatively affected over time. However, this does not necessarily mean you are out for the count. You can avoid all the hassles and instead depend on medical procedures to overcome this problem once and for all. There are two types of breast augmentation procedures to choose from, and in this article, we will take a closer look at both so you can make the right decision:
During the actual surgery, the patient is under general anesthesia. An incision is made in an area that will hide scarring and subsequently, the implant is placed either under the chest muscle (sub-muscular) or under the breast (sub-mammary). There are many types of implants but the most common are saline and silicone. Implants are not indestructible however and may leak, but according to Dr. Scott Haydon, “silicone implants have a lower reoperation rate.” A fat transfer breast augmentation, in which fat is taken from the body and redistributed to the breasts, may also be performed. After the implants are inserted, the incisions are closed and the patient is moved to a recovery area. The patient may go home in a few hours, but will continue recovering for one to two days followed by a few days of reduced activity. As with any surgery, soreness is expected for a couple of weeks but as time goes on, people become more and more satisfied with the
No woman wants to put unknown chemicals on their skin, especially their breasts. Women don’t want to compromise and expose their body to potential health issues.

Depending on the clinical settings policies, usually you will be scheduled to arrive at the hospital about 2 hours before the procedure time (Corones, et al 2009).
