Breast Reconstruction at Elyzee Hospital, Abu Dhabi — Restoring Confidence and Wholeness

Breast reconstruction at Elyzee Hospital helps women restore breast shape, volume, and contour following mastectomy or major tissue loss. This reconstructive surgery supports physical recovery and emotional healing by re-establishing body symmetry and a natural breast appearance, improving self-esteem and quality of life.

Consultation and Preparation

At Elyzee Hospital, your journey begins with a detailed consultation. The plastic surgeon will review your cancer treatment history, prior surgeries, medications, and general health. Together you will discuss reconstruction timing, technique options (implant-based vs autologous flap), and desired outcomes. The surgeon will order necessary tests (blood work, imaging) and explain preoperative preparations such as stopping certain medications, optimizing nutrition, and quitting smoking when applicable.

Emotional and practical support is emphasized — our team helps coordinate counseling, support groups, and rehabilitation resources to support recovery.

Techniques: What Happens During the Procedure

The choice of reconstruction technique depends on individual needs and medical history. Common approaches include:

Implant-based reconstruction: A tissue expander or pocket is created under or over the chest muscle, and a permanent implant (silicone or saline) is placed either in the same operation or after staged expansion.
Autologous tissue (flap) reconstruction: The surgeon uses the patient’s own tissue (e.g., abdomen, back, or buttocks) — transferred as a flap and shaped into a natural breast mound for a more lifelike result.

Your surgeon at Elyzee Hospital will explain the steps specific to your case, potential staging (immediate vs delayed reconstruction), and whether nipple reconstruction or tattooing will be performed later.

After the Procedure & Recovery

Recovery varies by technique. Typical postoperative care at Elyzee Hospital includes:

Pain management using prescribed medications and close monitoring.
Use and care of surgical drains if placed, with instructions provided for home management.
Follow-up visits for wound checks, suture removal, and staged procedures if required (e.g., implant exchange, symmetry revisions).
Activity restrictions: avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise until cleared by the surgeon.

Emotional recovery is also supported; our multidisciplinary team offers counseling referrals and rehabilitation guidance to optimize long-term outcomes.

Final Results

Final aesthetic results evolve over months as swelling resolves and tissues settle. Successful reconstruction can restore breast symmetry and contour, enhance body image, and support psychological recovery. Scarring and sensation changes are discussed in advance, and scar management strategies are provided to minimize visibility.

Risks & Considerations

Potential risks include bleeding, infection, flap or implant complications, delayed healing, or changes in sensation. The reconstructive team at Elyzee Hospital will review individualized risks and mitigation strategies during your consultation.

FAQs

Checking with your insurance provider and consulting with your plastic surgeon is crucial to obtaining a comprehensive comprehension of coverage details and requirements.

Immediate breast reconstruction is often possible and offers several advantages, including fewer surgeries and preserving the breast skin. However, the timing may depend on the individual’s overall health, cancer treatment plan, and preferences.

Don’t mistake undergoing a breast reconstruction procedure as an alternative to regular mammograms or other recommended screenings tests for detecting possible signs of breast cancer. Working alongside a radiologist, your surgeon will determine and utilize appropriate imaging procedures that best assess your rebuilt breast area.

While the benefits of breast reconstruction are clear for many women, post-mastectomy applications require intense care during the procedure as well as significant post-operative attention. Complications which have been known to arise from these types of interventions include excessive bleeding leading to needed transfusion(s), infections resulting in extended hospital stays or additional procedures necessary alongside slow-to-heal incision sites which could cause sensitivity problems within nipple areas through scar formation after surgery completion.

Yes, breast reconstruction can be combined with other procedures such as breast lift or reduction to achieve the desired outcome.

The results of breast reconstruction are long-lasting, and the reconstructed breast can be considered permanent. However, it is important to maintain regular check-ups with the plastic surgeon and attend recommended breast cancer screenings as directed by the healthcare provider.
