How to Fix Pain from Scar Tissue After Breast Reconstruction?

Scar tissue can be due to many different causes depending on the type of breast reconstruction. For example, if you have pain from scar tissue stemming from capsular contracture after implant-based breast reconstruction, then you may need a complete capsulectomy (removal of the breast capsule) to improve the pain. If you have pain from scar tissue stemming from fat necrosis after autologous tissue breast reconstruction, then the scar tissue may need to be broken up or resected to improve the pain. The most important thing is to see your plastic surgeon to be evaluated for the source of your pain.

Please read reviews about you Plastic surgeon and speak with a patients to learn about their personality to help you get the right fit.Three basic forms of breast reconstruction exist. You can use your own tissue, implants or a
combination of the previous two techniques.
Your own tissue can be used in the form of the DIEP flap, PAP flap, SGAP
flap or fat grafting. Implants can be
done in one stage or two stage. Two
stage reconstructions are started by placing expanders at the time of
mastectomy. Once they expanders are
placed they are able to be inflated as determined by wound healing. The final
time consists of combining any of the above techniques.I have operated on several patents over the years with tremendous symptoms from implant based reconstruction.  Sometimes the pain caused by the capsule around the implants is to much for them to handle.  I have removed there devices in certain cases and replaced it with their ow tissue which has resolved their pain in many situations.
