<p>It is possible to perform <a href="http://www.bettyblvd.com/category/breast-surgery">breast reconstruction</a> and, although it is not perfect, most patients are very satisfied with the results, while longer feel mutilated. This makes the patient returns to a normal life avoiding an external prosthesis (which is usually out in the most inopportune times) and very loose clothes to disguise the lack of a breast.</p>
<p><span id="more-247"></span></p>
<p><strong>Can be carried out:</strong><br />
<em>• Immediate: </em>While the general surgeon removes the breast is reconstructed by <strong><a href="http://www.bettyblvd.com/category/breast-surgery">the plastic surgeon</a></strong>. It is the method that gives better results. This is because the tissues are fresh and are easily malleable. To this must be added the benefit of a single intervention, the patient enters and leaves the operating room with the breast.</p>
<p><em>• Delayed: </em>Several months or years after mastectomy.</p>
<p>There is no study that says that breast reconstruction is detrimental to the survival of the patient. But it reduces the psychological trauma.</p>
<p>If you are going to radiotherapy is better to do a reconstruction with tissue from the patient herself, because if prostheses are used, they can be extruded or form a capsule around it.</p>
<p><strong>How can you rebuild?</strong><br />
<em>• Autologous methods:</em> with the patient&#8217;s own tissue.<br />
<strong>• <a href="http://www.bettyblvd.com/category/breast-surgery">Heterologous Methods</a>:</strong> used foreign materials, usually silicon. If there is enough skin can be placed directly with a prosthesis, and if not, we must first put an expander (like a balloon inflated) to expand the skin.</p>
<p>The nipple and areola can be rebuilt with a technique that involves the use of local tissue to the nipple, and skin from the groin to the areola.</p>
<p><em>Types of reconstruction autologous (patient&#8217;s own fabrics):</em></p>
<p>1. ABDOMEN. This technique is called TRAM, DIEP. It uses skin and fat between the pubis and navel to create a new breast. It may be pedicled or free.<br />
2. BACK. The muscle used is called the latissimus dorsi. It is possible to take skin and muscle from the back and rotate toward the breast.</p>
<p><em>Heterologous types of reconstruction (is the introduction of silicone):</em></p>
<p>1. PROSTHESIS. This is possible if done at the same time as mastectomy and whether the surgeon has removed skin.<br />
2. SPREAD. In cases where skin is removed with the breast, insert an expander (such as an inflatable balloon), which volume is increased gradually each week until the skin is stretched and thus obtain the desired volume.</p>

After <a href="http://www.bettyblvd.com/category/plastic-surgery-info/surgery-techique">mastectomy</a>, the surgeon places an inflatable balloon (expander) under the skin and chest muscle. Through a valve <a href="http://www.bettyblvd.com/category/breast-surgery/women-and-breast-surgery">mechanism buried beneath the skin</a>, introducing a saline solution once a week for several weeks to fill the expander. Once the skin of the breast has given himself enough, the expander is removed and replaced by a silicone breast implant saline or final. There are certain expanders that are designed so that it can be kept as permanent implants. Both interventions are performed under general anesthesia with a short hospital stay, 24 to 72 hours. Mastectomy if the breast is not too big, too small or too fall, you may need to reduce, increase or raise, while we reconstruct the other, to achieve a symmetrical result. The nipple and surrounding skin (areola) are <a href="http://www.bettyblvd.com/">reconstructed</a> later, under local anesthesia and an itinerant basis (without income).<span id="more-213"></span><br />
The prostheses used in this type of reconstruction contain medical silicone, like many other materials used in other fields of surgery (prosthetic testes, facial implants, etc.).. Has not been shown any link between breast cancer and the use of breast implants, nor has shown a clear link with autoimmune and rheumatic diseases. Its use is approved in all European countries.</p>

However there may be certain risks that should be known before undergoing this procedure. These risks would be those of any surgery, such as bruises, scars, pathological or anesthetic problems which, although unlikely, there is always a slight possibility. Also, female smokers should know that the snuff can cause scarring and problems have a longer recovery period.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bettyblvd.com/category/breast-surgery/women-and-breast-surgery">If reconstruction implants</a> are used, there is minimal possibility of becoming infected, usually in the first or second week after surgery. In some of these cases it may be necessary to temporarily remove the implant, which may be performed again later. The most common problem associated with implants is capsular contracture, which consists of the formation by the body of an internal scar capsule around the implant that can make the <a href="http://www.bettyblvd.com/"><span id="more-208"></span>reconstructed breast</a> has a harder consistency than normal, this is nothing more than an exaggerated physiological response of the body to a body that does not recognize as their own. There are several methods to combat it, since the massage the breast to disposal by surgery.</p>
<p>It should be clear that the reconstruction has no effect on the recurrence of breast disease or interfere with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, although the disease recur. Does not interfere with subsequent studies that may be required in the revisions. If your breast has been reconstructed with implants and your surgeon recommends performing regular mammograms, you should do them in a radiology center with experience in the use of radiological techniques for prostheses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://straightupfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Butt-and-Thighs-fit-in-clothes-small.jpg" alt="Cosmetic Surgery" width="244" height="195" /><strong>Cosmetic surgery </strong>can change many physical aspects of a person, sometimes you want to increase somewhere in the body, others want to do more small and slender, in other cases change the shape, look more attractive. Some surgical procedures are performed for cosmetic reasons, others however are made for reasons of trauma, burns, accidents, animal bites or birth defects, in this case the surgeon performed reconstructive surgery.</p>
<p><strong>Reconstructive surgery</strong> is performed in order to repair body parts that were lost or damaged, as with the chest, when you have to remove the breast cancer process, if already, the situation is very painful for a woman and the priority is to heal, for some women,<a href="mastectomy"> mastectomy</a> is unavoidable.</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-124"></span>Forehead lift</strong></p>
<p>To eliminate the pronounced wrinkles on his forehead or brows through a stretch, you can choose between two modalities, endoscopic forehead lift, or stretch common front, which although very similar, performing the endoscopic method, time recovery is faster.</p>
<p>The wrinkles on the forehead or brows usually appear after forty years, although younger people for reasons of heredity, skin type, muscle activity, people with reduced vision and have to frown to focus the image are affected by wrinkling of the skin prematurely.</p>
<p><strong>Embellishing the inner thigh</strong></p>
<p>It is common for the inner thigh showing a flabby or excess fat will be deposited in that area, sometimes walking alone is uncomfortable because the rubbing of the legs in the area upset, others irritated the inside thigh, redness or sores appearing in other cases we simply solve an aesthetic problem very visible in summer on the beaches or pools.</p>
<p>Become a thigh lift can solve the sagging and wrinkles that usually form between the two legs, this procedure is usually appropriate for patients in midlife who have lost muscle tone.</p>
<p><strong>Increased buttocks</strong></p>
<p>Inevitably lead to a rear sight that is pretty strong note and graceful when walking on very seductive women and men are attractive and loving person intuits sport. One of the most desirable in terms of aesthetics is that we feel fine clothes, trousers or skirt that enhance rounded buttocks, firm and shapely is a great thing. It may even seem that the waist and thighs appear smaller. The reality is often that as a matter of genetics, thinning processes or otherwise, falls buttocks, flabby or deformed.</p>
<p>We see that among celebrities such as actors, singers or rich, increased breech is a fairly common practice. As a kind of aesthetic intervention is often not seen as something close and dedicate ourselves to dream of having a nice butt.</p>
