Who is the intervention intended for?

Breast reconstruction is intended for women after surgical treatment for breast cancer or other conditions where the breast has been partially or completely removed.

Most commonly, people opt for the procedure:

  • after mastectomy (breast removal)
  • following breast deformity after surgery or radiation
  • for the desire for renewed physical wholeness and self-confidence

This refers to a group of procedures or various reconstruction methods that go beyond mere aesthetics and have a significant impact on psychological well-being, self-esteem, and quality of life. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that an experienced team, led by Prof. Dr. Ahčan, who is considered one of the world's leading surgeons in breast reconstruction after cancer, can assist you with this.

Procedure Description

Breast reconstruction after cancer is a complex and highly individual process that reshapes the breast and restores bodily balance. Today, it represents an important part of comprehensive breast cancer treatment—not only aesthetically but also functionally and psychologically.

At Juventina, we approach reconstruction as a process tailored to each patient individually. We offer all modern reconstruction methods, from breast conservation with oncoplastic techniques to reconstruction with implants, autologous tissue, or a combination of both.

The goal of reconstruction is not only to create a new breast, but to restore a sense of wholeness and self-confidence. Therefore, the team of exceptional aesthetic surgeons at Juventina carefully selects the most suitable method or combination of methods for each patient to achieve their desired goals.

Prof. Dr. Ahčan is among the pioneers in the field of advanced reconstructive techniques, which include the use of 3D technology. In one of his groundbreaking cases, he utilized 3D modeling to facilitate breast reconstruction, enabling precise planning of shape and volume, thereby achieving exceptional aesthetic and functional harmony. This approach allows for greater predictability of results and represents a significant step forward in personalized reconstructive surgery.

Preparation for surgery

The preparation begins with a thorough consultation, where we assess:

  • Tissue condition after surgery or radiation
  • physical characteristics
  • Patient's wishes and expectations

On this basis, we will determine the most suitable reconstruction method. Before surgery, we can include:

  • additional investigations
  • Alignment with oncological treatment
  • Planning a single-stage or multi-stage reconstruction

Every reconstruction is planned individually – that's the key to a good result.

Recovery

For more complex reconstructions (e.g., with own tissue), recovery is longer. After surgery, depending on the complexity of the procedure, you can expect pain, swelling, bruising, a pulling sensation, and altered skin sensitivity at the surgical incision sites. These symptoms are present in all operated areas and will gradually subside in the weeks following the surgery. 

Possible postoperative conditions:

  • Swelling
  • Feeling of tension
  • Temporary sensitivity

After surgery, we recommend rest and limited physical activity with your arms, along with assistance in your home environment. Rehabilitation is usually somewhat longer and restrictions on physical tasks are greater. After the stitches are removed, we recommend proper scar care and follow-up appointments as instructed by the surgeon.
