Answer Snippet
Do I Need Yearly Mammograms or MRI After Breast Cancer and Reconstruction?
Varied opinions amongst breast cancer doctors
Jan 6, 2019
Surprisingly, there is no evidence-based consensus on whether patients should have routine screening mammograms or MRIs after breast reconstruction.
Some doctors feel that since there is minimal natural breast tissue left behind after a mastectomy, there is no need to continue monitoring patients. Other surgeons decide on a patient-by-patient basis, including genetic predisposition (eg BRCA) and the type of reconstruction.
Self breast exam is easy to perform...
I'm 26 and interested in the DIEP Flap rather than implants. I would someday like to have c
Pregnancy possible after DIEP flap breast reconstruction
May 7, 2017
Successful pregnancy is possible after DIEP flap breast reconstruction. Several of my patients have gone on to have children after DIEP flap surgery.
As you know, Poland Syndrome prevents normal development of breast tissue. Since you do have some breast tissue on that side, you may still be able to breast feed but unfortunately there is no way of knowing in advance.
Can I have a DIEP or TRAM flap even though a tissue expander has been used on me? I was first
Finding experienced DIEP flap surgeon is key
Apr 16, 2017
Absolutely! This is actually a fairly common scenario. At PRMA we frequently see ladies from across the US who have had expander reconstruction elsewhere and decide to change course for a variety of reasons. While essentially all plastic surgeons are trained in expander breast reconstruction and most offer it, there are much fewer experienced DIEP flap surgeons. Please do your research. Look up "DIEP flap surgeons" and go from...
Opportunities Depressed Scar
Treatment for Depressed Scars
Jul 24, 2011
In my opinion the best option to improve your particular scar is surgical scar revision, ie excision as you mentioned. This essentially involves cutting out the scar and re-closing it.

Other options include topical scar treatments, trying to "plump up" the scar by injecting fillers, skin resurfacing (eg laser), or a combination of these. These will likely fall short of your expectations and could easily end up being more costly by the time you are done.

If you do decide on...

With DIEP reconstruction, what can I expect in terms of regaining strength and range of motion
Abdominal function after DIEP flap
May 13, 2010
A true diep flap procedure not only preserves all your abdominal muscle, but also the nerves that allow the muscle to work properly (motor nerves). Preserving the motor nerves is vital to maintaining full abdominal muscle strength and function long-term, as well as decreasing the risk of bulging (lower abdominal "pooching").

The majority of patients undergoing diep flap surgery have no problem returning to all the activities they were performing before the surgery,...

How to get rid of scar pigmentation?
How to get rid of dark scars | How to get rid of scar pigmentation
May 12, 2010
Some scars will darken even without sun exposure. However, sun exposure (especially tanning) will significantly increase the risk of scar hyperpigmentation (ie dark scars). Not only that, but the dark pigment can be permanent.

All scars under 2 years old should be protected from the sun with clothing or sunblock to decrease the risk of permanent redness or hyperpigmentation.

Once the pigment has developed you have the following options:

1) Wait. Over time some...

Suggestions for improving healing of fresh scar?
Scar Healing
Feb 1, 2010
It's early days.... too early to start thinking about more surgery.
I recommend:
1. Scar massage -- massaging a scar firmly helps breask down scar tissue and will lead to a flatter, softer scar.
2. Sun block - prolonged exposure of fresh scars to the sun can make these scars turn permanently red or dark, making them even more visible. Put sun block on the area before leaving the house.
3. Keep the area clean and wash it gently (once or twice per day) with a skin-friendly soap like Dial.
4. Some
Doctor recommended scar cream?
I recommend InviCible Scars
Dec 10, 2009
The few scar cream ingredients that are backed by scientific studies are:
1) Vitamin C
2) Silicone gel
3) Some natural plant extracts like aloe vera and licorice extract
InviCible Scars contains all of these.
Both vitamin C and silicone help healthy collagen production by the skin which is essential for optimal scar healing. Vitamin C also works very well for decreasing the red or brown discoloration seen with a lot of scars.
Silicone also decreases the production of abnormal collagen that...
