With increasing awareness of prevention and diagnosis, the debate on rehabilitation after mastectomy has become equally important.

The update day to recover after mastectomy (Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day) aims to emphasize the need to inform women who treat breast cancer about the rehabilitation options they have after surgery. In essence, it enables women to regain their sense of naturalness and confidence after a mastectomy but mainly to fully understand the choices that exist for their restoration.

The importance of update in the first phase of the diagnosis

“Information on rehabilitation after mastectomy is an issue that must be treated since the diagnosis. Women who receive the diagnosis of breast cancer should be aware that, after surgical resection of the tumor, they have the ability to choose their breast restoration. However, this is not always self -evident. Many women are not fully informed about the possibilities offered by modern plastic surgery, especially in organized units, “he says, Andreas Gravvanis, Director of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery to Metropolitan Hospital and continues:

Statistics and progress in the field of rehabilitation

“Although information is improved worldwide, statistics continue to show that many women are not informed of their choices immediately after the diagnosis of breast cancer. According to data from the United Kingdom, only 25% of women receive full information on their breast restoration. Although there is no official data on Greece, it is a fact that rates are gradually increasing, as more women choose to turn to organized breast units. “

Modern Breast Rehabilitation Techniques

“Breast rehabilitation after mastectomy can be performed either at the same time with initial surgery or at a later stage. Available methods include the use of implants as well as more complex techniques that use tissues from other parts of the patient’s body. The choice of the right method depends on the general state of health, its preferences and medical indications.

Modern technology in the field of plastic surgery has greatly improved the results, offering natural feel and appearance to the redeveloped breast. These interventions have become safer and more accurate, allowing women to regain their natural image and move on with confidence, “the expert stresses.

The future of breast restoration

“With the development of technology and increasing information, women today have more options and better results than ever. Breast rehabilitation is no longer a luxury, but an essential process that contributes to the patient’s total recovery.

The aim is not only to treat cancer but also to restore the quality of life, “concludes Mr Gravvanis.
