Breast Reconstruction
In an effort to help with your decision making, the following decision list provides a logical manner in which to proceed. It is important that you understand the advantages and tradeoffs of each of these decisions: Decision 1. Should I have an "Immediate Breast Reconstruction" or a "Delayed Breast Reconstruction?" Decision 2. Should my reconstruction be done with my own natural tissue or with a breast prosthesis? Decision 3.If I choose my own natural tissue , then should the tissue from my tummy or back be used? Breast ProsthesesPoint 1. If I choose a prosthesis, will I need a tissue expander first and then replacement with a breast prosthesis as a second stage? Point 2. What future events should I anticipate with my breast prosthesis, as the years go by? Natural TissuePoint 1. How many stages a will I need to complete my reconstruction? Point 2. Does the breast shape and contour improve with time? Answers to these and similar questions will be addressed by Dr. Michelow. For More InformationView Before & After Photos of Breast Reconstruction.

our perception of self, it is not surprising that reconstruction of the breast
at the time of mastectomy is becoming ever more popular. Recent advances have
provided an array of reconstructive options and Dr Michelow will team with
you to choose an ideal method that is individualized to your needs. Dr. Michelow
collaborated with Dr Carl Hartrampf, M.D. in the publication of the book: Breast
