Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction surgery in Rangapani, Siliguri

Breast Reconstruction is performed after a Lumpectomy or Mastectomy to restore the breast’s shape and size. The procedure involves using silicone or saline implants, or tissue from the patient’s own body, to achieve a natural appearance and improve emotional well-being.

At Manipal Hospitals, Breast Reconstruction in Rangapani, Siliguri, is performed by experienced plastic surgeons and oncologists using advanced techniques. The goal is to ensure safe, personalised care and restore confidence in women recovering from breast cancer.

Why is Breast Reconstruction done?

Breast Surgery Reconstruction in Rangapani, Siliguri, is recommended for women who have undergone partial or complete breast removal due to breast cancer. Many choose reconstruction to restore body symmetry and enhance self-image. Depending on the patient’s health and cancer treatment plan, doctors may use implants or tissue flaps to recreate the natural breast contour.

What to expect before Breast Reconstruction?

Before undergoing Breast Reconstruction in Rangapani, Siliguri, patients will have a detailed evaluation, which may include:

  • Physical examination to assess overall health and readiness.

  • Breast measurements and assessment to guide surgical planning.

  • Imaging tests such as MRI, CT, or X-rays for detailed analysis.

  • Medication review to stop drugs that could interfere with healing.

  • Cancer status review to align reconstruction with ongoing treatment.

What happens during Breast Reconstruction?

The Breast Surgery Reconstruction in Rangapani, Siliguri, involves the following steps:

  • Surgeons perform the procedure under general anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort and eliminate pain during surgery.

  • In Implant-Based Reconstruction, they place a silicone or saline implant beneath the chest muscle or skin, often after inserting a temporary tissue expander to create space for the final implant.

  • In Flap-Based Reconstruction (autologous tissue reconstruction), they use tissue from the patient's own body. Typically, from the abdomen (DIEP or TRAM flap), back (latissimus dorsi flap), or thigh to form a natural-looking breast mound.

  • They may perform microsurgery to connect blood vessels from the flap tissue to those in the chest to ensure healthy tissue survival.

  • Drainage tubes are inserted to remove excess fluid or blood from the surgical site and reduce the risk of swelling or infection.

  • Once the breast shape is reconstructed, the surgical team closes the incisions with sutures or surgical glue and applies a sterile dressing.

  • In some cases, temporary tissue expanders may remain in place for future expansion over weeks before final implant placement.

What happens after Breast Reconstruction?

After the Breast Reconstruction in Rangapani, Siliguri, the patient is shifted to the recovery room for monitoring until the effects of anaesthesia wear off. They typically stay in the hospital for 2 to  3 days. Pain is managed with medications, and doctors closely monitor healing. Most women resume their daily activities within a few weeks. Regular follow-ups help track progress and guide rehabilitation.

What are the complications of Breast Reconstruction?

Like any major surgery, Breast Reconstruction may have some risks, including:

  • Infection.

  • Scarring around the reconstructed breast.

  • Delayed wound healing.

  • Blood clots.
