| The Opposite Breast | ||||
| Even though the
breast mound is now restored, the reconstruction is not complete
until it resembles the opposite breast. In well-endowed women
who have a large or pendulous (droopy) opposite breast,
obtaining breast symmetry is more difficult. To achieve a better
match with the newly reconstructed breast, the surgeon may
reduce the size of the opposite breast, elevate and reshape it (mastopexy),
or in some cases insert a prosthesis to enlarge it
(augmentation) Frequently, these operations can be performed in conjunction with either the nipple/areola reconstruction or during further refinements of the breast mound. After these procedures most women have a breast mound of appropriate size and shape and one which matches the opposite breast. Finally, the breast mound is transformed into a breast with the addition of a nipple and surrounding areola (darkened skin). |
