For those whose cancer has spread outside the breast to nearby structures of lymph nodes, the survival rate is 86%. These statistics are thanks to the advancements in medicine and the result of finding breast cancer earlier on through screening and awareness. What once was a questionable fight, has now become realistic to get through.<\/p>\n<p>To feel rebirthed and renewed, women question what to do while going through (or after) the life-altering experience. While women have many choices in reconstructive breast surgery, including the option to not undergo a procedure, most women are not sure of options beyond <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcnemarcosmeticsurgery.com\/cosmetic-surgery\/breast-enhancement\/breast-implants\/\"><strong>breast implants<\/strong><\/a>; here they are, as shared by Haute Beauty expert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcnemarcosmeticsurgery.com\"><strong>Dr. Thomas McNemar.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Breast Reconstruction After Breast-Conserving Surgery<\/strong> - Inserting a breast implant is the least invasive breast reconstruction procedure available. It may not require any additional time in a hospital and can be done at the same time as your mastectomy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breast Reconstruction After a Mastectomy<\/strong> - If you decided to wait to get breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy, it is advised to wait six to 12 months after surgery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breast Reconstruction Using Your Own Body Tissues (Flap Procedures)<\/strong> - They can also be rebuilt using autologous tissue (that is, tissue from elsewhere in the body). Sometimes both implants and autologous tissue are used to rebuild the breast.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reconstructing the Nipple and Areola After Breast Surgery<\/strong> is sometimes also needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are looking to undergo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcnemarcosmeticsurgery.com\/cosmetic-surgery\/breast-enhancement\/\"><strong>reconstructive surgery<\/strong><\/a>, it is important to consult with your general surgeon and plastic surgeon to customize a surgical plan specific to your needs, whether it is a mastectomy to direct implant or there is a waiting period that includes tissue expanders to prepare for the next surgical steps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To feel rebirthed and renewed, women question what to do while going through (or after) the life-altering experience;
