Breast rehabilitation: the process of reshaping the breast through surgery, etc., after breast cancer or other reasons have been removed.
II. Timing of reconstruction:
1. Immediate reconstruction is carried out at the same time as mammograms, so that the patient does not experience the psychological shock of missing breasts when he wakes up from anaesthesia, although it may have an impact on subsequent arrangements for cancer treatment.
2. Delays in reconstruction occur after a period of time after the mammography and after the patient has completed all the supplementary treatments (e.g. chemotherapy, treatment), which gives the patient more time to consider how to rebuild, but the waiting process may put psychological stress on the patient.
III. The approach to reconstruction:
Redevelopment of implants: breast prostheses such as silicone are used to rebuild breasts. This is a relatively simple method, which is usually shorter. However, it may have some complications, such as convulsion (hardening the tissue around the prosthesis), requiring subsequent adjustment or replacement.
2. Self-organisation: Rebuilding breasts from other parts of the patient ‘ s body (e.g. abdominal, back). For example, commonly used abdominal abdominal petals are reconstructed in a way that is natural in the form of a breast, is closer to a natural breast and does not have an exorcism. However, the procedure is more difficult and there is a risk of complications in the supply area (the extraction of wood), such as the abdominal supply area, which may have abdominal abdominal gland. Breast rehabilitation not only restores the physical appearance of women, but also helps to improve their self-confidence and quality of life.
IV. EQUIPMENT:
1. Patients in good health. Patients do not have serious underlying diseases, such as uncontrolled heart disease, severe lung disease and incomplete liver and kidney function, and are able to cope with the physical burden of breast reconstruction. Because the operation may last for several hours, there is a certain demand for the resilience of the body. Patients with a lower risk of relapse to cancer. For early breast cancer patients, the risk of re-emergence of tumours is assessed to be low, e.g. smaller tumours, no lymphosis transfer, better pathological type, and breast rehabilitation may be considered after breast removal. Because reconstruction operations generally do not affect the effects of cancer treatment and are better able to restore physical appearance.
3. Patients with strong psychological needs. Breast-rehabilitation operations help to restore self-confidence and improve the quality of life of patients who are very concerned about their own body image and whose lack of breasts has a serious negative impact on their psychological well-being, such as the appearance of obvious anxiety, depression or a decline in their female identity.
Patients who are able to cooperate with post-operative care and rehabilitation. Breast rehabilitation requires more complex care and rehabilitation processes, such as implant rehabilitation, which requires care to avoid external collisions with prosthesis, and self-organization rehabilitation, which requires attention to rehabilitation of the areas. Patients who are able to understand and cooperate with these care requirements are better placed to perform the operation.
