Reconstructive surgery has made it possible that a woman with breast cancer can feel her breasts with an almost equal shape and texture to each other due to new experiences in the field of reconstruction of the breast capsule.
The advanced technique of autologous fat transplantation (TGA) allows that, after a mastectomy or quadrantectomy, we can implant the fat of the patient herself. It will be taken from the thighs or abdomen, after being analyzed will be injected on the thoracic region (breast sulcus, above the chest muscle) to recreate the breast capsule where you cannot insert a breast implant, or the implant presenting cutaneous depressions to correct the imperfections after surgery. The treatment will be performed at various stages taking into account the conditions of the patient and calculating the risk of outbreaks of metastasis or recurrence in such a way that the injection of platelets and plasma contained nell'adipe, do not present risks to the patient. The TGA technique has been studied and improved in such a way that the woman undergoes a breast cancer may have not only the perception of the mammary gland but that in the observation and palpation has a self-image more secure. Breast aesthetic appearance with plastic reconstruction may not always be decisive and also depends on the structure which has the pectoral muscle. Each patient will have a physique and a history, it will take into account the type of cancer, previous treatment, the general state of the patient, invasion of tissues and organs and medical therapies that have to do (eg radiotherapy) and based on these factors will be rebuilt the capsule.
