2nd Stage Reconstruction With Implant Placement, Single Procedure

Unilateral breast reconstruction with implant placement is a two-stage procedure that is typically performed during or after a single-side mastectomy. This procedure is performed in two stages: the 1st stage involves using a tissue expander and the 2nd stage involves placing an implant. The two-stage process is recommended for patients who do not have enough skin to accommodate an implant. A unilateral breast reconstruction procedure is recommended if the patient has breast cancer on a single breast.

When is This Procedure Necessary?

Breast reconstruction is considered a cosmetic procedure, meaning it is not medically necessary. However, patients may consider undergoing this if they recently underwent a unilateral mastectomy as the result of breast cancer in one breast or another disease that warrants removal. Patients may qualify for a two-stage breast reconstruction if they do not have enough skin to accommodate an implant.

What To Expect

During the 2nd stage of unilateral breast reconstruction with implant placement, the goal of the procedure is to remove the expander and place the implant. The surgeon will make an incision and will carefully remove the expander from the breast. Once this is achieved, the surgeon will place the implant. The 2nd stage of surgery will usually take approximately 1-2 hours. After the procedure, the recovery period typically takes between 1-2 weeks. However, patients should avoid strenuous activity for approximately 2 months to ensure the area has fully healed. If patients experience any discomfort, they should consult their doctor.
