Therapeutic mammoplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to change the shape of the breast. This surgical intervention is usually performed during cancer treatment and its purpose is to regulate the shape and appearance of the breast. However, therapeutic mammoplasty can also be performed for aesthetic purposes. During this process, the tissue of the breast can be changed by cutting or removing and giving a new shape. During this surgical intervention, your doctor will adjust the shape and size of the breast to a shape that suits you.

When and for what purposes is Therapeutic Mammoplasty preferred?

Therapeutic mammoplasty is often preferred during cancer treatment. This surgical intervention can be done to change the size and shape of the breast and can be done following the complete removal of the breast (mastectomy). During a mastectomy, the breast may need to be completely removed, and during this procedure, the aim is to remove all of the cancer cells. Then, reshaping and restructuring of the breast is aimed at therapeutic mammoplasty.
Therapeutic mammoplasty can also be performed for aesthetic purposes. In this case, the shape and size of the breast can be changed as you wish during the surgical intervention. Therapeutic mammoplasty for aesthetic purposes is a surgical procedure that preserves the natural appearance of the breast and generally provides an aesthetic improvement.

Therapeutic mammoplasty is a surgical procedure and therefore should be performed by your doctor. During the surgical intervention, your doctor will adjust the shape and size of the breast to a shape that suits you. During this procedure, your doctor can cut or remove the tissue of the breast, which can be changed and reshaped. This surgical procedure is performed under anesthesia and the procedure may take several hours.

Pre- and Post-Surgery Considerations

Therapeutic mammoplasty is a surgical intervention and therefore, some precautions should be taken for the patient before and after the surgery. These measures ensure that the patient is physically and mentally prepared in the pre-surgical period and that the recovery process takes place quickly and smoothly in the post-surgical period.

The precautions recommended to the patient in the pre-surgical period are as follows:

• Carefully follow the preoperative instructions given by your doctor. These instructions may contain important information such as pre-surgical screening tests and vaccinations.
• Quit smoking in the pre-surgery period. Smoking can negatively affect the healing process during and after surgery.
• In the pre-surgery period, regularly use the medicines given to you by your doctor. These medications can help reduce pain during and after surgery.

The precautions recommended to the patient in the post-surgical period are as follows:

• In the post-surgical period, regularly use the drugs given to you by your doctor. These medications can help speed up the healing process and reduce pain.
• In the post-surgery period, take care to rest. This speeds up the healing process and reduces pain.
• In the post-surgery period, follow the diet and exercise recommendations given to you by your doctor. These recommendations speed up the healing process and give strength to the body.
• In the post-surgical period, regularly attend the follow-up appointments given to you by your doctor. These appointments are important for monitoring the healing process and making necessary interventions.
