Why Patients from Rajkot Choose Dr. Neel Gupta:
Breast reconstruction surgery restores the breast's shape and appearance following mastectomy or lumpectomy. Dr. Neel Gupta offers both immediate reconstruction (performed during mastectomy) and delayed reconstruction (performed weeks to years after cancer treatment) for patients travelling from Rajkot.
This procedure involves either using tissue from other parts of your body (autologous reconstruction) or breast implants to recreate a natural-looking breast. The choice depends on your body type, cancer treatment plan, and personal preferences.
The Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap uses tissue from your lower abdomen to reconstruct the breast. This advanced microsurgical technique preserves abdominal muscles while creating natural-feeling breasts.
Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous flap reconstruction uses abdominal tissue and muscle to create the new breast, offering excellent aesthetic results.
This technique uses muscle and tissue from the upper back, often combined with an implant for optimal volume and shape.
Using tissue expanders followed by permanent implants, this option offers shorter surgery times and faster initial recovery.
