Reconstructive surgery can help patients restore the appearance of an area after an injury or disease. It is often used for breast cancer patients who undergo a mastectomy. Unfortunately, such reconstruction doesn’t always go as planned and a patient may need further care. Regardless of how hopeless or painful your situation may be, Dr. Anke Ott Young, Dr. Mary Pronovost, and Dr. Christine Hodyl have techniques that can help you. Visit the team at Constructive Plastic Surgery for minimally invasive revision surgery in Garden City, NY.

What Conditions Does Minimally Invasive Revision Surgery in Garden City, NY, Treat?

After getting implants or cancer surgery, the breast area may appear deformed. It can be due to a botched procedure such as using the wrong implants. A buildup of scar tissue in the area can result in breast implant-associated lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). With this revision surgery, doctors can restore breast shape and patient confidence.

When a patient gets implants as part of reconstruction after a mastectomy, many surgeons place them under the muscle. This placement can cause chronic pain in the area due to muscle stretching. 

Benefits of This Procedure

Dealing with cancer can be taxing mentally and physically. Therefore, a patient in recovery should not also have to deal with more pain and possible deformity from a bad breast reconstruction. When you undergo minimally invasive revision surgery in Garden City, NY, you are under the care of expert surgeons who have restored many breast areas that others had deemed hopeless.

Dr. Young, Dr. Pronovost, and Dr. Hodyl only place prepectoral breast implants. If you have implants under the muscle, the team can safely switch them out for prepectoral ones. As a result, your pain and discomfort in the area will subside. The procedure is safe, as the doctors use liposuction and your own fat in injections to fill out the area and reduce scar tissue. It helps to reshape your new breast with healthy tissue along with a safer and smoother implant.

You no longer have to live with painful or deformed breasts after a botched cosmetic implant or reconstruction surgery. If you are in this situation, it is time for a consultation with the team at Constructive Plastic Surgery. Dr. Young, Dr. Pronovost, and Dr. Hodyl have performed minimally invasive revision surgery in Garden City, NY, on many patients.
