Bilateral Prophylactic Mastectomy Reconstruction

Bilateral Prophylactic Mastectomy Reconstruction

A surgical operation known as a bilateral preventive mastectomy involves the removal of both breasts in an effort to reduce the risk of breast cancer developing in the patient. After having a mastectomy, some women choose to have reconstructive surgery in order to rebuild the size and shape of their breasts. This process is known as mastectomy reconstruction.

There are many alternative approaches that can be employed for reconstruction, and the approach that is selected for a particular patient will be contingent on that patient’s unique set of requirements and objectives. Breast implants, flap surgery (in which tissue is taken from another region of the body and used to rebuild the breasts), and procedures that combine the two are all prevalent forms of breast reconstruction.

When is Bilateral Prophylactic Mastectomy reconstruction done?

In most cases, persons who are at an extremely high risk of getting breast cancer are the only ones who are given the recommendation to undergo bilateral preventative mastectomy. Women who have a strong breast cancer history in their family, a genetic mutation that raises their risk of breast cancer (such as BRCA1 or BRCA2), or a personal history of breast cancer may fall into this category.

The choice to have a preventative mastectomy is an extremely personal one, and it is one that should only be made after great consideration and consultation with a qualified medical expert. Reconstructive procedures following a mastectomy might take place at the same time as the mastectomy itself, or they can be postponed until a later period.

Health benefits of Bilateral Prophylactic Mastectomy Reconstruction

People who have a high likelihood of developing breast cancer may find that having a preventative bilateral mastectomy provides them with a number of potential advantages to their health.

The removal of both breasts through this treatment can dramatically lower the risk of developing breast cancer because there will be no breast tissue behind which cancer could form. This can be especially helpful for those who have a significant breast cancer history in their family or a genetic mutation that makes them more susceptible to developing the disease in their own bodies. Individuals who are concerned about their risk of breast cancer and may feel apprehensive about the chance of obtaining the disease may find that having a preventative mastectomy alleviates some of their anxiety about the likelihood of developing the disease. Prophylactic mastectomy can significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer, but it is not a guarantee that cancer will not develop. It is important for individuals to continue to undergo regular screenings and follow-up care as recommended by their medical professionals.

It is important to note that while prophylactic mastectomy can significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer, it is not a guarantee that cancer will not develop.

A preventive double mastectomy can cut the chance of getting breast cancer by up to 95%. By taking out the breast tissue, there is no longer any tissue that could turn cancerous. This can give people who are at a high risk of getting breast cancer and may be worried about their chances of getting it peace of mind. Some people may also feel better physically and emotionally after having the procedure because they no longer have to worry about getting breast cancer.

But it’s important to remember that a preventive mastectomy is a major surgery that comes with risks. Some of the risks and problems that could happen with a preventive mastectomy are infection, bleeding, scarring, and a change in how the breasts or nipples feel. Before making a decision, people who are thinking about getting a prophylactic mastectomy should talk to a doctor about the possible risks and benefits of the procedure.

Breast Cancer Patient’s Journey

IS A GOOD WORD

First of all, I would like to thank Dr. Mansi Cowhan for the effort she made to remove a tumor and lymph nodes from the breast of the patient Rawaa Abd Abbas from Iraq, and to follow up on the patient’s condition and gave her the right medical instructions after the operation. Now patient is in a very good health. My advice for all patients who are suffering from breast cancer is to visit Dr Mansi Chowhan she has a very good knowledge and experience in her field .Thank you to Dr Mansi.

Dr. Mansi Chowhan, my wife’s breast cancer surgeon, empathized with my wife’s condition. She gave us the technical details in understandable language. She made it clear that the approach was primarily redemptive. She was happy with us when the tests came out favorable. She was sad with us for unfavourable pointers. She was caring throughout the process. We wish that she will bring such care and comfort to many more cancer patients.

I was diagnosed with DCIS. My gynaecologist Dr.Anjali Kumar whom I have known for 12 years and trust her completely, recommended Dr Mansi Chowhan to me. I am very happy that I took the decision of getting my breast surgery done from Dr.Mansi. She is very warm, polite and understands the emotional state of a patient. She explained to me in detail what exactly will be her plan of action. I went for other opinions too but Dr. Mansi was the only doctor who didn’t ask for unnecessary tests and procedures like MRI and Biopsy. Luckily, the lump in my breast was benign. I am grateful to her for handling my case so efficiently and would highly recommend her for breast surgery.

Dr Mansi Chowhan Dr. Mansi is one of the finest, sweetest and humble doctor I have ever met! I think she follows the rule to not overcomit and under deliver. During the period of my mother’s breast cancer consultation, treatment and surgery, she was sometimes upfront for few things, which we as Patient’s family took time to digest. But I really admire and appreciate all the support that Dr. Mansi and team extended during the entire period of pre & post surgery. And the kind of tumor removal + breast conservation surgery that she has done with her magical hands is commendable. I had so many negative thoughts before the surgery, but looking at the result and my mother recovering day by day…I can’t thank her enough for doing such wonders in saving her breast and her life! ❤

Our gratitude towards Dr Mansi Chowhan, my wife’s treating doctor cannot be expressed in words. She diagnosed my wife’s breast cancer and took great care throughout her journey from biopsy to breast surgery to chemotherapy now. To our great relief, a breast conservation surgery was done. She is exceptionally efficient and compassionate towards her patients. Highly recommended for any breast lump or cancer.
