Breast Reconstruction Surgery

<h1>Breast Reconstruction Surgery</h1>Author: <a title="Tammy Garcia" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/tammy-garcia/11681.htm">Tammy Garcia</a> This year, more than 250,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The good news is breast cancer is 90 percent curable when caught early. Which makes it so important to perform regular self-exams, and continue monitoring your health regularly. 
Because women are living healthy, productive lives long after diagnosis, learning about options is also becoming more important. 
For many women, treating the cancer is half the battle. From there, recovering and returning to a normal life is the focus. Losing a breast can be devastating. With the reconstruction options available today, women cannot only return to a normal lifestyle, they can have the feeling of normalcy as well. They can regain both the shape of a breast, and regain the self-confidence.
For some women facing partial or full mastectomy, breast reconstruction is a viable choice. Women choose reconstruction for a variety of reasons, including: 
	<ul>
		<li>To make your breasts look balanced under clothing</li>
		<li>To permanently regain your breast contour</li>
		<li>To give the convenience of not needing an external prosthesis</li>
	</ul>
Whatever the reasons, its best to choose a breast reconstruction surgeon that meets your qualifications, and can help you get on the road to recovery quickly. 
What to look for when choosing a breast reconstruction surgeon.
1. Look for a surgeon that you are comfortable with. For many women, the road to recovery is a lot shorter if you connect with your surgeon. Interview your surgeon and learn his philosophies and his style. You'll be spending quite a bit of time with him before and after the surgery. Make sure you are comfortable with him. 
2. Understand the procedure and its impact on your life. The more you understand about the procedure, the easier the process will be. Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you have special requests, ask. Let your doctor know if you are athletic, or have special issues that may be affected by the surgery. Your doctor should be able to give you alternatives, and tell you how the surgery will affect your lifestyle. 
3. Choose a surgeon with experience. Find out your surgeons background and training. Does he perform reconstruction procedures on a regular basis? 
Some women prefer to combine reconstruction with their mastectomy surgery. Others prefer to deal with one surgery at a time. The important thing to find is a surgeon that is sympathetic to your needs, and allows you to be comfortable with each procedure.
Keep in mind that there will still be differences between the reconstructed breast and the remaining breast. Yet even though you may notice the differences, it still can offer peace of mind. It can allow you to get back to a comfortable lifestyle, and help you feel good about how you look in most types of clothing. All of this can be a major step in the right direction.
