Breast reconstruction surgery in Melbourne is available at Define Dermatology & Aesthetics with Specialist Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Mr Ian Loh. Mr Loh provides thorough, personalised consultations to discuss the reconstruction options available to you and to support you in making a fully informed decision.
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that rebuilds the shape of the breast following mastectomy or injury. It may be performed at the time of mastectomy as an immediate reconstruction, or as a separate procedure at a later stage as a delayed reconstruction.
Reconstruction options vary and may involve the use of implants, the patient’s own tissue, or a combination of both. Mr Loh will discuss the options most appropriate for your individual circumstances during your consultation.
Like all surgical procedures, breast reconstruction carries risks. Mr Loh will explain these in full during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.
Suitability for breast reconstruction is assessed on an individual basis and depends on a number of factors including your medical history, cancer treatment history, overall health, and personal goals. Mr Loh works closely with oncology and breast surgery teams to ensure a coordinated approach to your care.
Surgery is not suitable for everyone and Mr Loh will provide honest, individualised advice based on your circumstances.
The surgical approach for breast reconstruction varies significantly depending on the type of reconstruction, the timing relative to mastectomy, and your individual anatomy and health. Mr Loh will explain the recommended approach and what it involves in detail during your consultation.
Recovery from breast reconstruction varies depending on the type and extent of the procedure. Mr Loh and his team will provide detailed post-operative instructions and support throughout your recovery. Specific recovery timelines and follow-up requirements will be discussed during your consultation.
