Breast Reconstruction Plastic Surgery
Breast reconstruction, a pivotal procedure in post-mastectomy care, offers women the opportunity to restore their confidence and sense of completeness after battling cancer or facing other medical challenges. At North Star Plastic Surgery in Fairbanks, AK, under the expert care of Dr. Erick Martell, this transformative surgery is tailored to meet each patient's unique needs and desires.
Whether opting for implants—be it silicone or saline—or choosing autologous tissue sourced from the patient's body, the journey towards reconstructing a natural-looking breast begins with thoughtful consideration. Dr. Erick Martell and his team guide patients through the various techniques available, taking into account factors such as individual body type, medical history, and personal preferences.
Breast reconstruction can occur either immediately following mastectomy or during a subsequent stage of healing, offering flexibility and tailored care. It's crucial to recognize that while breast reconstruction can profoundly impact a woman's self-image and quality of life, it's not a mandatory step in the post-mastectomy journey. Each woman's decision to undergo reconstruction is deeply personal, requiring careful deliberation of the potential benefits and risks involved.
