Surgery Preparation

When preparing for breast reconstruction surgery with Dr. Moujab Awad, patients are carefully guided through a comprehensive process to ensure safety, comfort, and the best possible results. The preparation for surgery typically encompasses several steps

  1. Medical Evaluation: Dr. Awad will conduct a thorough evaluation, which may include a physical examination, review of your medical history, and any necessary imaging tests.
  2. Discussion of Options: Different reconstruction options will be discussed to determine the most suitable approach for your situation.
  3. Expectation Setting: It’s important to have a clear understanding of what the surgery can achieve as well as the limitations.
  4. Medication Review: Some medications and supplements may need to be adjusted or avoided prior to surgery.
  5. Smoking Cessation: Patients who smoke will be advised to quit well before the surgery as smoking can impede the healing process.
  6. Fasting: Instructions will usually include fasting (not eating or drinking) for a specific period before the surgery.
  7. Preparation for Recovery: Patients may be asked to prepare their home for post-surgery recovery, including meal preparation and creating a comfortable resting area.
  8. Pack a Bag: Include items you may need in the hospital such as loose-fitting clothing, personal hygiene items, and any required paperwork.

The Surgery

  • Tissue Expander Placement: Under general anesthesia, Dr. Awad will insert a tissue expander beneath the skin and chest muscle where the breast was removed. The expander is gradually filled with saline over several weeks or months to stretch the skin and make room for the breast implant.
  • Implant Placement: Once the skin has been stretched sufficiently, a second surgery is performed to replace the expander with a permanent implant.
  • Tissue Harvesting: Tissue, which may include skin, fat, and sometimes muscle, is harvested from another part of the body—commonly the abdomen, back, thighs, or buttocks.
  • Transferring Tissue: The tissue is then transferred to the chest area, and Dr. Awad will sculpt it into a new breast mound. This can be done with a pedicled flap, where the tissue remains attached to its original blood supply, or a free flap, where the tissue is completely detached and then reattached to blood vessels in the chest using microsurgery.

The goal of breast reconstruction with Dr. Moujab Awad is to create a breast that resembles the form and appearance of your natural breast as closely as possible, helping to restore confidence and quality of life following cancer treatment or other breast surgery. Through in-depth consultation and careful planning, Dr. Awad will guide you through the process to achieve the best possible outcomes tailored to your individual needs and preferences.
