Health Alert: Breast reconstruction

(NY-NBC) March 28, 2005 - Marjorie Belson is a breast cancer survivor,
"I'd walk down Park Avenue and my jacket was open, so I'd look in the
mirror and I'd say, 'Oh my!'"

There are many women who might say this about their figure, or at
least wish they could. Belson thought she'd never be able to say that
after cancer was found in both her breasts, "I opted for bilateral
mastectomies. I don't wanna go back and forth anymore. The anxiety was
too much."

Not only did Marjorie have breast reconstruction, she had it done at
the same time as her mastectomies, which used to be controversial,
until Dr. Mark Sultan says multiple studies showed that it is safe,
"The complication rate of the reconstruction plus the mastectomy is no
higher than the two procedures done separately and it has been shown
with large studies that there is no increased risk with recurrence if
one has had reconstruction."

There are a variety of techniques used to reconstruct breasts, a
woman's own tissue can be used or there's implants, either saline or
silicone, such as Marjorie chose, which are a relatively simple but
multi-step procedure. In fact, Sultan says a very recent study found
women who chose breast reconstruction actually had better survival
odds than women who didn't, "It's possible that women who are offered
reconstruction initially are possibly in a healthier, or that
afterwards, because they had been reconstructed and feel healthier,
that they might more frequently come back to their physician for a
follow-up, or they might take better care of themselves, might eat
better, etc., etc."

Silicone breast implants are FDA cleared for breast reconstruction, as
opposed to augmentation. If you're not comfortable with those, saline
implants are available or you can fashion a breast from your own
tissue, although that operation is more extensive than implant
surgery.
